Tubercular Brain Abscess: Diagnostic Dilemma-A Case Report
Journal Title: SSR Institute of International Journal of Life Sciences (SSR-IIJLS) - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Isolated central nervous system tuberculosis is uncommon in immunocompetent patients. It resembles a pyogenic brain abscess clinically and radiologically and poses a problem in diagnosis and treatment. Here we described a case of recurrent frontal lobe abscess, which was diagnosed as a tubercular abscess. There was no clinical or radiological evidence of active tuberculosis elsewhere in the body. The diagnosis of tubercular abscess was confirmed by Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Polymerase Chain Reaction (TB-PCR) in the abscess material aspirated via a burr hole.
