Concurrent intramedullary spinal cord and multiple intracranial tuberculomas with tuberculous optic neuritis: A rare case report.
Indian Journal of Tuberculosis 2017 October
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a worldwide burden, with a large majority of new active TB cases occurring in underdeveloped and developing countries. Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is one of the common infections of central nervous system. Other manifestations include intracranial tuberculoma, tubercular brain abscess, spinal tuberculoma, and granulomatous arachnoiditis. Visual impairment in TBM may be due to optic neuritis, optochiasmatic arachnoiditis (OCA), tuberculoma in the chiasmatic region or in the optic pathways, chorioretinitis, secondary to hydrocephalus and increased intracranial pressure, and finally due to ethambutol toxicity. We report a case of young girl with concurrent spinal cord intramedullary tuberculoma and multiple intracranial tuberculomas with TBM and bilateral visual impairment due to tuberculous optic neuritis.
