[Cerebral tuberculosis. There clinicopathological cases (author's transl)].

The clinico-pathological report of three cases of cerebral tuberculosis, collected over a 10 year period in a single neurological department from non immigrant patients emphasizes the difficulties of diagnosis and therapy of this disease. Multiple tuberculomas have simulated either an alcoolic encephalopathy in one case or a primitive cerebral tumour in another one. In the third case, the course of an exceptional cerebral miliary tuberculosis was not modified by the treatment. Liver cirrhosis was present in every case.
