During treatment for accident injuries, Spine TB is detected for L3 with MRI spine and L3-4 height reduced ,surgery is suggested but due to 37% of LV dysfunction of heart detected by angiogram, doctors suggested medical management. He had an injury on right frontal of head. CT scan shows small contusion in right frontal region and NO MASS EFFECT/MID LINE SHIFT. But he is abnormal now. He can able to recognize person but not able to handle situations and has irrelevant talk. Doctors saying that, he takes some time to become normal Does spine Tb effect brain/behavior?

You can go for endoscopic spine surgery which is safe for such pt. Biopsy can be taken during that time as no test confirns diagnosis apart from tissue diagnosis.
