  • Title: Intracranial tuberculoma in a Sudanese child: response to medical treatment.
    Author: Elshibly EM, Ellidir AR.
    Journal: Ann Trop Paediatr; 1986 Sep; 6(3):183-5. PubMed ID: 2430507.
    Abstract:
    We report a 4-year-old girl in whom a probable intracranial tuberculoma was diagnosed by carotid angiography. The child's clinical picture improved and the tuberculoma certainly considerably reduced in size as shown by a follow-up angiogram 20 months after institution of antituberculous treatment. Our case adds one to those in whom medical treatment was a success. Surgery should be reserved for medical failures and where diagnosis is uncertain.
