    Diagnosing chiasmatic tuberculomas is challenging, even with CT scans, especially when tuberculous meningitis is absent. Surgical intervention may be necessary for uncertain cases, particularly those with recurrent meningitis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Chiasmatic tuberculomas are rare inflammatory masses affecting the optic chiasm.
    • Tuberculomas can mimic other optic pathway lesions, complicating diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of chiasmatic tuberculomas are presented.
    • Diagnosis proved difficult despite advanced imaging like CT scans.
    • Clinical presentation lacked typical signs of tuberculous meningitis.

    Findings:

    • Chiasmatic tuberculomas present diagnostic challenges, often requiring consideration beyond typical tuberculous meningitis imaging.
    • Surgical exploration may be indicated when non-invasive diagnostic methods are inconclusive.

    Implications:

    • Early and accurate diagnosis of chiasmatic tuberculomas is crucial for preventing vision loss.
    • Recognition of tuberculomas as a cause of recurrent meningitis is important for appropriate management.
    • This highlights the need for a high index of suspicion in endemic areas.
