Ventriculoperitoneal Shunting

Syringomyelia is an uncommon late complication of tuberculous meningitis with a latency period of up to 18 years. Acute hydromyelia is exceedingly rare with few case reports occuring within the first 6 weeks. We present a case and magnetic resonance imaging of a 38-year-old immunocompetent woman with this rare complication of early hydromyelia due to tuberculous meningitis which responded to ventriculoperitoneal shunting, highlighting that early detection and treatment may improve prognosis.
