Abstract:
Tropical diseases affecting the central nervous system include infections, infestations, and nutritional deficiency disorders. This article discusses the commonly encountered diseases. The infections include bacterial, mycobacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral infections with varied clinical manifestations. Imaging sensitivity and specificity for the prediction of the cause of infections has improved with application of advanced techniques. Microbial demonstration and histology remain the gold standard for diagnosis. Understanding the basis of imaging changes is mandatory for better evaluation of images. Nutritional disorders present with generalized and nonspecific imaging manifestations. The pathology of commonly encountered vitamin deficiencies is also discussed.
