Abstract
Cervical Pott's disease is an uncommon spinal location. Spinal cord compression and epidural abscesses are serious complications that can be life threatening. We report a case of cervical Pott's disease revealed by dysphagia due to a minimal retropharyngeal abscess in a 12-year-old Senegalese girl. This observation reveals one of the facets of tuberculosis, rarely described in Africa.
