Devastating yet treatable complication of tuberculous meningitis: the resistant TB abscess.

Savvas Andronikou1, Petrus J Greyling.   

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Tuberculous abscesses may be resistant to medical treatment and may cause devastating complications. CASE REPORT: Such a lesion persisted in a child treated for tuberculous meningitis and resulted in a seizure with prolonged anoxic damage to the brain. The imaging findings are typical and these lesions should be considered for surgical management.
