Abstract:
In Korea, tuberculosis is still common disease. Central nervous system tuberculosis can manifest in a variety of forms, including tuberculous meningitis, tuberculous cerebritis, tuberculoma, tuberculous abscess, and miliary tuberculosis. Although intra-axial tuberculomas are the more common type of CNS tuberculosis, extra-axial lesions are rarely encountered. En plaque tuberculoma is an extremely rare presentation of intracranial tuberculosis with mimicking primary or secondary meningeal neoplasia. We describe a rare case of an en plaque tuberculoma accompanied by tuberculous meningitis and tuberculomas.
