Neurotuberculosis can rarely affect brain ventricles. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of intraventricular tuberculoma lead to favorable outcomes, even with central necrosis.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Neurotuberculosis is a serious condition, often presenting with varied symptoms.
  • Intraventricular lesions are uncommon manifestations of neurotuberculosis.

Observation:

  • A 38-year-old female experienced headaches, fever, and malaise.
  • Computed tomography revealed an intraventricular ring-enhanced lesion with central necrosis.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the lesion confirmed it as a tuberculoma.
  • The patient successfully responded to antituberculous chemotherapy.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering ventricular tuberculoma in neurotuberculosis diagnoses.
