Tuberculosis of the craniocervical junction: a case report.
Craniocervical tuberculosis (TB) is very rare. Despite the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cranial tomography (CT), diagnosis of craniocervical tuberculosis is frequently difficult. In this study, we present a craniocervical tuberculosis abscess case which demonstrates the role of transoral surgery for both diagnosis and treatment.
