Tuberculosis is a growing public health issue, especially drug-resistant forms. This review covers the pathogenesis and imaging of brain tuberculosis, highlighting its varied presentation and the importance of early diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) presents a significant global health challenge, exacerbated by multi-drug resistance and rising immunodeficiency.
  • The disease disproportionately affects socioeconomically disadvantaged populations.
  • Meningo-encephalic tuberculosis, a severe form, requires careful diagnostic consideration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the pathogenesis of meningo-encephalic tuberculosis.
  • To delineate the diverse radiological findings associated with brain tuberculosis.
  • To emphasize the diagnostic role of modern imaging in this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on pathogenesis and radiological manifestations of meningo-encephalic tuberculosis.

  • Analysis of imaging findings, including their variability and potential to mimic other pathologies.
  • Discussion of the clinical and laboratory context for diagnosis.

    • Main Results:

    • Imaging findings in meningo-encephalic tuberculosis are highly variable (pleomorphic).
    • Radiological features can mimic primary brain tumors or other meningeal diseases.
    • Despite non-specific findings, advanced imaging is crucial for diagnosis.

    Conclusions:

    • A high index of clinical suspicion is vital for prompt diagnosis of brain tuberculosis.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent mortality and severe neurological sequelae.
    • Modern imaging techniques play a critical role in identifying this challenging condition.
