  • Title: Locations of cerebral infarctions in tuberculous meningitis.
    Author: Hsieh FY, Chia LG, Shen WC.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1992; 34(3):197-9. PubMed ID: 1630608.
    Abstract:
    The locations of cerebral infarctions were studied in 14 patients with tuberculous meningitis (TBM) and 173 patients with noninflammatory ischemic stroke (IS). In patients with TBM, 75% of infarctions occurred in the "TB zone" supplied by medial striate and thalamoperforating arteries; only 11% occurred in the "IS zone" supplied by lateral striate, anterior choroidal and thalamogeniculate arteries. In patients with IS, 29% of infarctions occurred in the IS zone, 29% in the subcortical white matter, and 24% in (or involving) the cerebral cortex. Only 11% occurred in the TB zone. Bilaterally symmetrical infarctions of the TB zone were common with TBM (71%) but rare with IS (5%).
