ABSTRACT
Tuberculous arachnoiditis is a rare complication of tuberculous meningoencephalitis. Few cases of diffuse involvement of tuberculous arachnoiditis are reported. We describe a 35-year-old HIV-negative male with diffuse tuberculous arachnoiditis aggravated during the steroid tapering. The arachnoiditis accompanied the meningoencephalitis and involved the entire surface of the brainstem and whole segments of the spinal cord. The patient showed flaccid quadriplegia and paradoxical respiration, which are thought to be due to arachnoiditis.
