Brain tuberculoma presents with varied neurological symptoms and often co-occurs with other tuberculosis forms or HIV. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes in these complex cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Context:

  • Brain tuberculoma is a rare manifestation of tuberculosis.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to diverse clinical presentations.
  • Imaging techniques like CT and MRI are vital for detection.

Purpose:

  • To describe the clinical characteristics, diagnostic approaches, and treatment outcomes of eight brain tuberculoma cases.
  • To highlight the importance of considering brain tuberculoma in patients with neurological deficits and potential tuberculosis exposure.

Summary:

  • Eight patients with brain tuberculoma presented with varied neurological symptoms including epilepsy, headache, hemiplegia, meningitis, and cerebellar syndrome.
  • Pulmonary tuberculosis, genital tuberculosis, and HIV co-infection were noted in several cases.

  • While anti-tuberculosis treatment and corticosteroids improved outcomes, cell immunity assessment revealed diminished ratios.

    • Impact:

    • Cerebral tuberculoma should be suspected in patients with unexplained neurological symptoms and multiple intracranial lesions, especially with a history of tuberculosis or immunodepression.
    • Prompt neuroimaging and appropriate treatment are essential for managing this condition.
    • Further research into immunomodulatory aspects may improve therapeutic strategies.
