    Abstract:
    The case of a 28-year-old male affected by intracranial tuberculous arachnoiditis with unusual aspects is reported. The patient presented bilateral amaurosis and complete ophthalmoplegia with intrinsic muscle sparing in both sides. The routine laboratory findings showed only persistent leucocytosis and a Mantoux test of 10 mm. Several radiologic studies of the lungs were always normal. The spinal fluid, tomography of the cranial base and carotid angiography were normal. The diagnosis was made by histologic study after craniotomy.
