Intracranial tuberculoma, a rare brain infection, can mimic other conditions. Early recognition of its unusual imaging features is crucial for timely diagnosis and effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Tuberculoma is a granulomatous inflammation caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
  • Intracranial tuberculomas are rare, often presenting with non-specific symptoms.
  • Diagnostic challenges arise due to varied clinical and radiological presentations.

Observation:

  • A 35-year-old woman presented with chronic headaches, vomiting, and dizziness.
  • CT revealed a left frontal lobe plaque-like mass with calcifications, heterogeneous enhancement, and surrounding edema.
  • Features included sulcal obliteration and enhancement, mimicking neoplastic or other inflammatory lesions.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the mass as tuberculoma.
  • The imaging findings, while suggestive, were atypical for a common presentation of tuberculoma.

  • The case highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of brain lesions.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the need for heightened clinical suspicion for intracranial tuberculoma.
    • Recognizing unusual imaging patterns can improve diagnostic accuracy.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management are vital for favorable patient outcomes in CNS tuberculosis.
