  • Title: Brain tuberculomas mimicking intracranial metastasis in a patient presenting with fits.
    Author: Gondal M, Mushtaq S, Hussain T.
    Journal: J Coll Physicians Surg Pak; 2013 Oct; 23(10):748-9. PubMed ID: 24112265.
    Abstract:
    Brain tuberculosis is still prevalent in many developing countries, especially Asian countries. Tuberculomas should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of enhancing intra-axial lesions of the brain. Brain tuberculomas can present in many different clinical and radiological patterns clinically like headache, fits, cranial nerve palsies and very rarely as brain tuberculomas. We describe the case of a 48 years old male patient presenting with persistent headache and fits, referred for workup of brain metastasis or primary brain neoplasm. On further imaging, it turned out to be multiple tuberculomas of brain which resolved on anti-tuberculous treatment along with symptoms relief.
