Abstract
Tuberculosis remains a significant global health challenge, with central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS-TB) posing a substantial threat, accounting for 1-10% of all tuberculosis cases. This article explores the diverse manifestations of CNS-TB in children, with a particular focus on tuberculous meningitis and tuberculomas, as well as their associated complications. Diagnostic imaging, including CT and MRI, plays a crucial role in the early detection of CNS-TB. The article emphasizes the pivotal role of imaging in the diagnosis and management of these manifestations, underscoring the importance of early recognition by healthcare professionals. Ultimately, raising awareness among pediatric radiologists, pediatricians, and pediatric neurologists is crucial for prompt intervention and improved outcomes in cases of CNS-TB.
