RESUMO
Polyopia is the visual perception of multiple images of a single visual stimulus. Cerebral polyopia has previously been described as an ictal phenomenon associated with temporal lobe seizures. We report the case of a man with multiple cavernous angiomas and occipital lobe seizures manifesting as cerebral polyopia.

RESUMO
The clinical syndrome of tuberculous (TB) meningitis leading to ischemic strokes is rarely seen today in immunocompetent adults native to North America. This entity is also notoriously difficult to diagnose because the presenting symptoms are often nonspecific. The authors describe a case of a man with TB meningitis which progressed to recurrent ischemic cerebral infarcts.
