  • Title: Intraventricular tuberculoma. Report of four cases in children.
    Author: Berthier M, Sierra J, Leiguarda R.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1987; 29(2):163-7. PubMed ID: 3495745.
    Abstract:
    Four cases of intraventricular tuberculoma (IVT) in children are here reported. In none of the patients was there clinical evidence pointing to the intraventricular location. CT scan findings comprised three stages of development, namely: immature, mature and old. Ependymal attachment and asymmetric hydrocephalus were present in three cases, meningitis in two and ependymitis in one. Septum pellucidum traction was clearly observed in two patients, strongly supporting an adhesive process characteristic of intraventricular tuberculosis. Following specific treatment, the tuberculomas remitted partially or entirely.
