Tuberculoma of the anterior optic pathways. Case report

A tuberculoma, encasing the anterior optic pathways in a neoplastiform growth, was found in a 25-year-old man complaining of severe visual loss, diabetes insipidus, and sexual impotence following tuberculous meningitis. Following biopsy and anti-tuberculosis treatment, a satisfactory restoration of sight in one eye allowed the patient to resume an almost normal life.
