Abstract:
A global increase in the incidence of tuberculosis has prompted the need for earlier diagnosis,
treatment, and isolation of the disease. In tuberculosis, concomitant tuberculous meningitis and vascular
complications such as intracranial aneurysms and subarachnoid hemorrhage are very rare. Because
of the poor prognosis of tuberculous meningitis as well as intracranial aneurysm and subarachnoid
hemorrhage, early diagnosis and management are crucial. We present the case of a 76-year-old woman
who had two intracranial aneurysms complicated by subarachnoid hemorrhage, who had concomitant
tuberculous meningitis. She remained well with medical management.
