Abstract

Tuberculosis has been an important public health problem in both developing and develop nations. Tuberculosis of the central nervous system is rare. Tuberculosis meningitis and tuberculoma are the two most important manifestations of tuberculosis of the CNS. Intracranial tuberculomas may be solitary or multiple. Solitary tuberculomas may be indistinguishable from cranial abscess or primary brain tumor. It is necessary to rule out tuberculoma in patients with intracranial mass lesions. We present a case of tuberculoma mimicking a high grade glial tumor on magnetic resonance imaging and clinical presentation. A 30-year-old woman presented with one-month history of epilepsy. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging showed a left occipital peripheral ring-enhanced lesion with central necrosis. There was a strong suspicion of glial tumor. The lesion was totally excised with left occipital craniotomy. Histological examination of mass revealed a tuberculoma. The patient was treated with antituberculous chemotherapy.

Özet

Tüberküloz hem gelişmekte hem de gelişmiş uluslarda önemli bir halk sağlığı problemidir. Santral sinir sistemi tüberkülozu nadirdir. Tüberküloz menenjit ve tüberkülom, santral sinir sistemi tüberkülozunun en önemli iki formudur. Kranyal tüberkülomlar tek veya birden fazla sayıda olabilir. Tek tüberkülomlar kranyaşl abse veya primer beyin tümörlerinden ayırt edilemeyebilirler. İntrakranyal kitle lezyonu olan hastalarda tüberkülomun ayırıcı teşhisini yapmak gerekmektedir. Biz magnetik rezonans görüntüleme ve klinik presentasyon ile yüksek gradeli glial tümör ile benzerlik gösteren tüberkülomu olan bir olguyu sunuyoruz. 30 yaşındaki bayan hasta bir aydır devam eden epilepsi şikayeti ile başvurdu. Kranyal magnetik resonans görüntülemede santral alanda nekrozu, halkasal kontrast tutulumu olan sol oksipital kitle saptandı. Glial tümör şüphesi vardı. Lezyon sol oksipital kranyotomi ile total olarak rezeke edildi. Kitlenin histolojik muayenesinde tuberkulom teşhisi kondu. Hasta antitüberküloz tedavisi ile tedavi edildi.
