Abstract:
Tuberculoma of the cerebellum is a rare presentation of human tuberculosis and the presence of this disease in central nervous system in particular. We report the case of an immunocompetent 53 year old man who initially had an instability when walking, bitemporo-occipital headaches and insomnia, secondarily complicated state of agitation accepted into psychiatric care. The diagnosis was possible with MRI that revealed a mass in the cerebellar tonsil, not taking the contrast after gadolinium injection. The evolution under treatment for tuberculosis was positive. The control MRI performed at 15 months showed no more damage.
