Transverse myelitis typically extends two or less spinal segments, whereas longitudinal extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) extends three or more spinal segments in length and may occasionally span all the segments of the spinal cord. We present a case of spinal tuberculosis presenting with LETM with true lower motor neuron-type flaccid paraplegia.
