Cervical Spine Tuberculosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Epidemiology, Clinical Presentation, Diagnosis, Management, and Outcomes

2025Open accessMohammed V University

Abstract

Cervical spine tuberculosis, though rare, is a severe extrapulmonary form with a rising incidence. The condition leads to neurological impairments and spinal deformities, with symptoms including cervical pain, motor-sensory deficits, and fever. A combination of medical and surgical treatment can result in favorable neurological outcomes. Future research should focus on developing protocols and evaluating outcomes to improve management.
