  • Title: Suprasellar tuberculoma developing during treatment of tuberculous meningitis requiring urgent surgical decompression.
    Author: Teoh R, Poon W, Humphries MJ, O'Mahony G.
    Journal: J Neurol; 1988 May; 235(5):321-2. PubMed ID: 3385452.
    Abstract:
    An adult patient on treatment for tuberculous meningitis developed visual failure due to a tuberculoma compressing both optic nerves and chiasm. Although continued anti-tuberculous chemotherapy is the treatment of choice for intracranial tuberculoma, the rapid deterioration in vision necessitated urgent surgical decompression, which resulted in complete recovery of vision.
