Abstract

Our report highlights a case of intracranial tuberculoma in an elderly woman with chronic discharging sinus. A 77-year-old woman had a mass lesion extending to the scalp through a chronic discharging sinus for 2 years with an intermittent, non-radiating, dull, low-grade headache. Based on our survey of central nervous system tuberculosis, this case is a rare event of documented intracranial tuberculoma with concomitant discharge of the scalp sinus similar to the periodic geyser eruptions in developing countries.
