Figure 1Clinical timeline. TB = Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Figure 2Lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. (A, B) MRI of the lumbar spine in 2015 showed a cystlike structure in the lumbosacral sac (black arrows) seen on sagittal (A) and axial (B) T2‐weighted images. (C, D) Repeat MRI in early 2017 showed clumping of the nerve roots of the cauda equina and enhancement of the nerve roots on postcontrast T1‐weighted images (D, white arrows) compared to precontrast images (C). (E–H) In late 2017, soon after a symptom flare, lumbar spine MRI showed an extramedullary, intradural nodule (white arrowheads) on T2‐weighted (E, F) and T1‐weighted (G) images, which demonstrated contrast enhancement (H).
