Osteo-articular tuberculosis is a rare condition, with knee localization ranking third after the spine and the hip. Its symptomatology is vague and persistent, typically presenting as subacute or chronic arthritis, and the diagnosis is often made during the stage of joint destruction. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial to prevent functional complications. Imaging plays a prominent role in the diagnostic process. We report a case of advanced knee tuberculosis in a young adolescent, investigated using CT and MRI to highlight the role of imaging in diagnosing this condition.
