Abstract

Skeletal Tuberculosis is a not that common nowadays due to effective antitubercular chemotherapy available along with the fact that most cases of primary tuberculosis are diagnosed quite ealy. Furthermore Presacral tubercular abscesses are a rare entity . Lumbosacral region is the least effected.

We present a rare case of large presacral abscess simulating a big tumor and MRI Done showed a large presacral abscess . It was managed by drainage through a trans pedicular route.
