    Intracranial Tuberculoma 5

    Uploaded by

    Arief Rahmatullah
    Tuberculoma is a mass of granulomatous tissue that develops from tubercles during a tuberculosis infection. It is a common intracranial lesion. Tuberculoma can be diagnosed with neuroimaging such as MSCT and MRI, which will show hypodense lesions that enhance with contrast in a ring-like pattern. Treatment with anti-tuberculosis medications typically leads to resolution of the lesions. The case report describes a 17-year old patient who presented with headaches and seizures and was found to have multiple intracranial tuberculomas on MSCT that enhanced with contrast.
