Abstract

Life Sciences & Biomedicine Public, Environmental & Occupational Health Science & Technology Tropical Medicine
Two patients with tuberculous meningitis are described, who developed intracranial tuberculoma while receiving antituberculous therapy. The tuberculoma responded to the same regimen of treatment and small dose of corticosteroids. Such paradoxical reaction should be looked for if the patient develops new neurological signs during the course of the disease.
