Abstract:
Authors present their experience in 4 children with acute tuberculous meningitis. All of them were in deep coma, with abnormal motor responses, documented increased intracranial pressure and severe hydrocephallia. External ventricular drainage during 18 to 35 days, plus specific antituberculous treatment was performed in all of them without untoward effects. Clinical evolution was excellent. This particular type of tuberculous meningitis and its' physiopathology are reviewed. Importance of computed cranial tomography in early diagnosis and treatment and follow up evaluation are stressed.
