Abstract

We describe a twenty six years old lady with tuberculous meningitis who developed new onset left ptosis and binocular diplopia with features of left fascicular 3rd nerve palsy after 9 months of anti tubercular therapy (ATT) and imaging revealed new onset tuberculoma in the mid-brain. Tuberculoma responded to steroids while continuing ATT. Formation of new tuberculoma as a part of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is possible even after prolonged therapy of 9 months, which responded well to only steroids without altering ATT.
