Abstract

We present 4 cases of tuberculous meningitis with atypical clinical features and CSF findings. Two patients had initially normal CSF examination, one developed internuclear ophthalmoplegia, while the other had deterioration of consciousness. The third patient presented with paranoid psychosis, and the fourth had a picture mimicking acute bacterial meningitis and he developed right hemianopia due to a tuberculoma detected by MRI. All recovered completely with anti-tuberculous treatment.
