Intracranial tuberculomas: diagnosis and management.

Abstract

Experience with fifteen consecutive cases of intracranial tuberculomas, treated between 1981 and 1986, is summarized. Histological confirmation was obtained in twelve patients, and acid fast bacilli (AFB) were found in and cultured from the excised lesions and biopsy specimens in nine patients. Difficulties in diagnosis are discussed. A plan of management combining the operative treatment and medical therapy of the tuberculomas is outlined. The value of computerized tomography in the diagnosis and management of these patients is emphasized.
