Aggressive intracerebral tuberculoma in a 1-year-old child: A case report with literature review.

The incidence of central nervous system tuberculosis is a rare entity that accounts about 1% of all tuberculosis and remains a major health problem in developing countries. We report a case of 1-year-old baby boy who presented with a three-week history of vomiting, seizure and progressive right-sided weakness. Brain magnetic resonance imaging performed on the admission day revealed a large lesion measuring (4.3*3.5cm) involving the left thalamus with extensive perilesional edema producing enfacement of third ventricle, midline shifting and obstructive hydrocephalus.

Septic Embolic Stroke Followed by Hemorrhage and Brain Abscess in a Patient with Systemic Infections: A Case Report and Literature Review.

We report a case of 50-year-old man with a severe acute ischemic stroke followed by intracerebral hemorrhage and brain abscess due to systemic infection. His initial intracranial radiographic findings were normal but three days later MRI scan of the brain revealed well-defined rounded cystic lesion on the T2-weighted and T1-weighted images in the right basal ganglia; the lesion presented an area of diffusion restriction on DWI; lately the lesion was confirmed to be an early stage of cerebral abscess. A week later the patient was noted to have worsening neurological status and left extremity weakness, and emergency brain CT scan revealed massive intracerebral hemorrhage in the right occipital lobe; he underwent intracranial hematoma evacuation surgery. The hematoma was removed successfully, and the systemic infections were treated with antibiotics.
