ABSTRACT
Listeria myelitis is known to be very rare and not reported yet in Korea. A 78-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and hepatocellular carcinoma presented altered mentality, paraparesis, and fever. His spinal cord MRI, cerebrospinal fluid study, and blood culture demonstrated thoracic myelitis caused by Listeria monocytogenes. This case suggests that listeria myelitis should be considered as one of the causes of non-tumorous myelopathy especially in immunocompromised patients.
