Incidental Paraparesis during Late Pregnancy: “A Rare Occurrence”

Abstract

Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global epidemic and a leading cause of infectious disease death. Pregnancy has always been medically challenging in the wake of extrapulmonary TB, which creates another dimension of diagnostic and management pandemonium. We present our index case, which is an antenatal case presented late in the pregnancy associated with nonspecific back pain, which progressed to paraparesis, diagnosed with limited diagnostic modalities during pregnancy as Pott’s spine and underwent extensive multidisciplinary management at a tertiary care center with a favorable outcome. Here, we aim to discuss and extrapolate the approach to a discrete form of Pott’s spine with a varied presentation in pregnancy, its elusive quandary diagnosis and long-term patient management for a successful fetomaternal outcome.
