ABSTRACT
The management of tuberculous meningitis with hydrocephalus is complex with most centres advocating ventriculoperitoneal shunting only in the presence of raised CSF pressure. This article reports a case of tuberculous meningitis with hydrocephalus treated with a combination of early surgical and immunomodulatory therapy in addition to conventional steroids and antituberculous agents. This case demonstrates that during the early phase of tuberculous meningitis with hydrocephalus, a combined multi-disciplinary approach will help prevent neuronal injury due to progressive ventricular enlargement and inflammation
