Craniovertebral Junction Tuberculosis, a Rare Presentation With Hypoglossal and Facial Nerve Palsy
Craniovertebral junction tuberculosis is uncommon, and its manifestation with cranial nerves involvement is even more rare. Meticulous clinico-radiological assessment should be done to diagnose and plan the treatment. Early recognition and prompt initiation of ATT, along with timely surgical intervention, when necessary, are crucial for optimal management and outcomes.
