    Author: Dhawan SR, Chatterjee D, Radotra BD, Vaidya PC, Vyas S, Sankhyan N, Singhi PD.
    Journal: Indian J Pediatr; 2019 Apr; 86(4):371-378. PubMed ID: 30623313.
    Abstract:
    Stroke is common in tuberculous meningitis. Stroke commonly affects the tubercular zone, comprising the anterior part of the thalamus, caudate and the internal capsule (anterior limb and genu). Stroke, in tuberculous meningitis is predominantly arterial ischemic stroke, and is due to infiltrative, proliferative or necrotizing arteritis. Rarely, aneurysm formation and mycotic aneurysms have also been described. The authors describe the clinical and autopsy findings of a 27-mo-old boy with tuberculous meningitis whose course was complicated by arterial and venous strokes, and nonresponse to adequate and appropriate antitubercular therapy.
