ABSTRACT
We report a 20-month-old girl with miliary pulmonary tuberculosis and normal neurological findings. While on treatment with isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol for 1 month, she developed weakness of the lower extremities without meningism or altered consciousness. A computerized tomogram revealed tuberculomas and basal arachnoiditis. The cerebrospinal fluid findings were compatible with tuberculous meningitis. She responded well to systemic corticosteroids.
