    Author: Górska-Kowalska J, Bukowska-Nierojewska D, Pawlukiewicz M.
    Journal: Pneumonol Alergol Pol; 1991; 59(1-2):59-62. PubMed ID: 1843889.
    Abstract:
    The authors present a case report on a 17-year old male in whom focal neurological symptoms, abnormal EEG findings, tumors seen on CT scan of the brain and a normal chest radiogram produced grave diagnostic problems. The resected tumor from the occipital lobe proved to be a tuberculoma. The patient was treated with 6 antituberculous drugs. A control CT-scan demonstrated complete cure and resolution of tumors in the central nervous system. The source of the infection was the young male's father with sputum positive, active pulmonary tuberculosis.
