Cervical tuberculosis is a rare disease with a high complication rate. Tuberculosis of the cervical spine is reported in about 6-9% of all cases of spinal tuberculosis. Early diagnosis and treatment of spinal tuberculosis is essential in order to prevent neural deficit. Management strategies for spinal tuberculosis range from ambulatory chemotherapy to radical surgical debridement with fusion. The paper presents a case of an 18-year-old patient with TBC spondylitis C3- C5. Eleven months passed from the onset of the disease until surgery and final diagnosis. When hospitalized, the patient suffered from the overall weakness, a 15- kg weight loss, dysphagia, neck pain, neck rigidity, febrility, cervical radiculopathy and paresthesia of both upper extremities. MR image showed a complete destruction of C3, abscess perforation in the anterior epidural space with the spinal cord compression and abscess extension to prevertebral space from C2 to C5. After the radical surgical debridement of C3-C5 and anterior decompression, a tricorticate autologous bone graft obtained from the iliac crest was placed and a plate fixation was done. Tuberculostatics were included for 12 months after surgery. Complete recovery occurred six months after surgery. Anterior decompression with autologous iliac bone graft led to a good clinical and radiological outcome in patients with cervical spine tuberculosis. Tuberkuloza vrata je retka bolest, sa visokom stopom komplikacija. Tuberkuloza vratne kičme je opisana u 6-9% slučajeva spinalne tuberkuloze. Rana dijagnoza i tretman tuberkuloze kičme neophodni su da bi se sprečio neurološki deficit. Strategija tuberkuloze kičme se kreće od ambulantne hemoterapije do radikalnog hirurškog debridmana sa fuzijom. Prikazujemo slučaj bolesnika, starosti 18 godina, sa tuberkulozom vratne kičme C3-C5. Od početka bolesti do operacije i postavljanja dijagnoze prošlo je 11 meseci. Do hospitalizacije, bolesnik je izgubio na težini 15 kg, imao je teškoće pri gutanju, bolove u vratu, ukočenost vrata, povišenu telesnu temperaturu, vratnu radikulopatiju i osećaj trnjenja u gornjim ekstremitetima. MRI nalaz je pokazao kompletnu destrukciju C3 vratnog pršljena, prodor hladnog apscesa u prednji epiduralni prostor, sa kompresijom na kičmenu moždinu i širenjem apscesa u prevertebralni prostor od C2 do C5 vratnog pršljena. Posle radikalnog hirurškog debridmana C3-C5 i prednje dekompresije, plasiran je trikortikalni autologni koštani grefon sa ilijačne kriste i urađena je fiksacija pločom. Uključeni su tuberkulostatici u trajanju do 12 meseci od operacije. Kompletan oporavak nastupio je 6 meseci posle operacije. Prednja dekompresija sa autolognim koštanim grefonom sa ilijačne kriste vodi ka dobrom kliničkom i radiološkom rezultatu kod bolesnika sa vratnom tuberkulozom kičme.
