Abstract

Tuberculosis is common in India, but the co-occurrence of intracranial and intramedullary tuberculomas as a manifestation of central nervous system tuberculosis is extremely rare in children. We report a case of concurrent intracranial and lumbar intramedullary tuberculomas in a 6-year-old girl. The child developed the intracranial and intramedullary tuberculomas while on antituberculous therapy for previously diagnosed tuberculous meningitis. The child improved well on antituberculous drugs and neurosurgical excision of the lumbar lesion. Histopathology confirmed tuberculous etiology of the intramedullary lesion.
