Spinal cord compressions are mainly due to Pott disease. We present a rare case. A 31 years old woman presenting a spinal cord compression due to an aspergilloma. Our patient presented also a pulmonary aspergillosis. The spinal compression was due to a contiguous extension of aspergillus to the epidural site. The treatment associated surgery and medical treatment (Ketoconazole), with efficient results.
