Cerebellar tuberculoma: a rare disease in an industrialized country
Abstract
A nine-year-old Somalian boy was treated in Denmark for a posterior fossa tumor, which proved to be a tuberculoma. This disease is virtually unknown in our highly industrialized country, which emphasizes the fact that due to increased international traveling, knowledge of endemic diseases in other parts of the world is necessary. The treatment of tuberculoma and their diagnostic features are reviewed.
