摘要:

While intracranial tuberculomas have become uncommon in industrial nations, 12 patients with signs and symptoms of an intracranial mass lesion were recently found to have tuberculomas. Clinical findings suggestive of tuberculosis were frequently subtle or absent. Five patients did not have extracranial tuberculosis. Two patients had intracranial tuberculomas that became superinfected with bacteria and appeared initially as pyogenic brain abscesses. Intracranial tuberculomas in this country almost always occur in adults and represent reactivation of dormant infection. Medical therapy alone is indicated as the initial therapy except in the presence of intolerably increased intracranial pressure. A chemotherapeutic regimen is suggested.
