This study details a rare intrasellar tuberculoma successfully removed via transsphenoidal surgery. Post-operative treatment with isoniazid prevented tuberculous meningitis.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Intrasellar tuberculomas are rare pituitary gland infections.
  • Diagnosis and surgical management can be challenging.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with an isolated intrasellar tuberculoma.
  • Transsphenoidal surgery was performed for complete lesion removal.

Findings:

  • The transsphenoidal approach enabled total resection and prevented cerebrospinal fluid contamination.
  • Histological diagnosis confirmed tuberculoma.
  • Post-operative isoniazid prophylaxis (300 mg daily for 3 months) was administered.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the efficacy of transsphenoidal surgery for intrasellar tuberculomas.
