Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Intracranial tuberculomas are rare, particularly in immunocompetent individuals.
  • Tuberculosis (TB) can manifest in the central nervous system, posing diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 14-year-old female presented with a six-month history of headaches and blurred vision.
  • Computed Tomography (CT) revealed a right tentorial enhancing lesion.
  • Angiography showed no abnormal enhancement, complicating initial diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination of the excised lesion confirmed tuberculoma.
  • This case represents an unusual intracranial presentation of tuberculosis.

Implications:
