Abstract

Multilevel tuberculous spondylitis is a severe and complex form of spinal tuberculosis that poses significant challenges in both diagnosis and management. Involving multiple vertebral levels, the condition can cause debilitating symptoms, neurological deficits, and extensive spinal damage if untreated. This case report describes a 26-year-old male presented with a complicated multilevel tuberculous spondylitis, spinal cord injury (SCI), and an odontoid fracture. The study aimed to address the complexities associated with multilevel tuberculous spondylitis and highlights the need for an interdisciplinary approach, combining surgical intervention, pharmacological treatment, and comprehensive rehabilitation, to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
