Abstract

The classical presentation of neurotuberculosis is meningitis. Intracranial tuberculomas are rare manifestation of neurotuberculosis and are due to hematogenous dissemination of distant focuses of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. A 31-year-old woman admitted with headache, nausea, vomiting and convulsion. Intracranial, subcortical and cerebellar tuberculomas were demostrated by cranial magnetic resonance imaging. M. tuberculosis was cultured from the bronchial washing. Response to antituberculous and glucocorticoid treatment was observed at four weeks. Tuberculous meningitis and intracranial tuberculomas are two frequent manifestations of neurotuberculosis. An unusual case of disseminated tuberculosis presenting with tuberculous menengitis and tuberculomas is reported.

Özet

Santral sinir sistemi tüberkülozunun klasik görünümü menenjittir, intrakranial tüberkülomlar nörotüberkülozun nadir bir şeklidir ve Mycobacterium tuberculosis infeksiyonunun hematojen yayılımı sonucu gelişir. Otuzbir yaşında kadın hasta baş ağrısı, bulantı, kusma ve konvülzyon ile başvurdu. Manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ile intrakranial, subkortikal ve serebellar tüberkülomlar tespit edildi, M. tuberculosis bronş lavajı kültüründe üretildi. Dört haftada antitüberküloz ve glikokortikoid tedaviye yanıt gözlendi. Nörotüberkülozun en sık iki görünümü tüberküloz menenjit ve intrakranial tüberkülomdur. Bu çalışmada, tüberküloz menenjit ve tüberkülom birlikte bulunduğu nadir bir dissemine tüberküloz olgusu sunuldu.
