Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Thirty cases of CNS Tuberculomas were studied as suggested by the CT Scan Brain (Plain and Contrast) from 2007 to 2009, at Gandhi Medical College, Hyderabad, India. It was most common in second and third decade of life. The most common clinical presentation was convulsions. Routine investigations did not yield the diagnosis of tuberculosis. All patients were treated with Anti Tuberculous Treatment (ATT), for 6 months and oral steroids. ATT consisted of 2 months of intensive phase of HRZE and 4 months of continuation phase of HR. No surgical intervention was done. After completion of chemotherapy, they were followed up for 6 months. Repeat CT Scans were done, which showed clearance of all tuberculomas.
