Abstract

Tuberculosis involving spinal cord in the form of intramedullary tuberculoma is uncommon, and the
concurrent occurrence of cranial and intramedullary tuberculomas is extremely rare. We report a case
of disseminated tuberculoma involving brain and spinal cord with miliary tuberculosis in a 32-year-old
male presenting with fever, cerebellar signs and motor weakness of both upper and lower extremities.
Based on magnetic resonance imaging and polymerase chain reaction, we diagnosed as
tuberculoma. He completely recovered with conventional antituberculous treatment and steroids. The
follow-up of the patient showed disappearance of signs and symptoms.
