ABSTRACT

Brain tuberculoma is a rare localization of extra-pulmonary tuberculoma and considered as the most severe. A 14-year-old girl, without past medical history presented intracranial hypertension, with cerebellar syndrome and visual disorder The laboratory findings were normal. Serological test for HIV was negative. Cerebral scan showed intracranial mass lesions occupying the left back of the head region, with central calcification, an oedema and a four-ventricle dilatation. Histopathological examination after neurological operation revealed a tuberculosis. The progress was favourable after administration of antituberculous chemotherapy Although tuberculoma remains one of the causes of cerebellar tumour potentially curable, its diagnosis cannot be clearly established without neuroimaging and histology
