The operculum syndrome: an unusual complication of tuberculous meningitis.

M Moodley1, S Bamber.   

Abstract

The operculum syndrome, not previously documented as a complication of tuberculous meningitis, is described in a three-year-old African boy. The appearance on CT scan correlates radiographically with anatomical descriptions of the operculum syndrome, and is useful in distinguishing the condition from pseudobulbar palsy.
