The cause of peripheral neuropathy associated with tuberculosis is controversial. Possibilities include the toxic effects of antituberculous chemotherapy (especially, rifampicin, streptomycin & ethambutol), immune mediated neuropathy, direct invasion of nerves, vasculitic neuropathy, compressive neuropathy, and meningitic reaction. This report describes an unusual fi nding of tuberculous granulomas in the peripheral nerve (Greater auricular nerve) of a patient ,who presented with a painful neck swelling. Granulomas were present in Greater auricular nerve (C2,C3) biopsy specimen associated with tuberculous peri-neuritis, but with no more specifi c indications of the mechanism of the neuropathy.enAnti-tubercular chemotherapygranulomagreater auricular nerveperi-neuritisperipheral nervestuberculomatuberculosistuberculous neuritisArticle
