    Abstract:
    Ischemic stroke can result from multiple etiologies. It can also be a complication of tuberculous meningoencephalitis and determine its outcome. stroke secondary to tuberculous meningoencephalitis, occurs in 30% cases in the basal ganglia region, unusually in the thalamus. The mechanism of stroke in this condition is vasculitis. We report an unusual case of bilateral thalamic infarcts complicating tuberculous meningoencephalitis. Ischemic stroke in tuberculous meningoencephalitis is unpredictable with poor prognosis despite antituberculous drug treatment, emphasising the importance of primary prevention, particularly in tuberculosis endemic areas.
