Abstract

A patient with tuberculous meningitis is described, who developed brainstem tuberculoma after 7 months of adequate drug therapy and while improving satisfactorily. The possible factors resulting in the development of tuberculoma are discussed. The tuberculoma responded to the medical therapy. Tuberculoma should be looked for if the condition of the patient worsens or if the patient develops new neurological signs during the course of TB meningitis.
