Abstract
We describe the crossed syndromes of Millard-Gubler (facial palsy and contralateral hemiparesis) and Weber (oculomo- tor palsy and contralateral hemiparesis) in two children with tuberculous meningitis. The magnetic resonance imaging delineated the pathology in both cases and response to therapy proved favorable. In both children the cranial neuropathies resolved whilst the hemiparesis persisted. The cases highlight the importance of considering neurotuberculosis as a cause of hemiplegia alternans in endemic tuberculosis areas.
