Ophthalmic manifestations of central nervous system tuberculosis--two case reports

Pattnaik Lolly et al. Indian J Tuberc. 2011 Oct.

Abstract

In this report, we present two unusual ocular manifestations due to CNS tuberculosis. One of the cases is a 7 years' old boy with brain stem tuberculoma who presented with horizontal gaze palsy. The other is a 14 years' old girl with temporal lobe tuberculoma who presented with unilateral sixth nerve paresis and papilledema. Both responded well to treatment with antitubercular drugs. It highlights the importance of gaze palsy as a rare manifestation of CNS tuberculosis.
