Abstract
Mycobacterium Tuberculous (MTb) meningitis is a rare manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (Tb) but remains the most common form of Central Nervous System (CNS) manifestation of tuberculosis. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality yet difficult to diagnose given the low sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic testing with cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) analysis which typically shows CSF findings of lymphocytic pleocytosis, elevated protein, and low glucose and is confirmed by acid fast bacillus (AFB) culture. Here, we describe a case of severe meningoencephalopathy in the setting of disseminated tuberculosis with atypical radiological findings of tuberculoma.
