Abstract
Brain tuberculomas are a rare complication of tuberculosis arising through hematogenous spread from an extracranial source, most often of pulmonary origin. The clinical course is usually subacute or chronic, lasting weeks or months, and they typically occur in immunocompromised patients. Recognition and prompt diagnosis of this disorder is important because early treatment can prevent patient worsening and lead to clinical improvement. The authors report a 68-year-old diabetic man with headache and cognitive/behavioral changes in whom investigation revealed disseminated brain tuberculomas resulting from miliary tuberculosis. He received antituberculous treatment and had an excellent recovery.
