Brain Tuberculoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.

We are reporting on a rare case of central nervous system tuberculosis (TB) in the state of South Dakota. Our case features one of the most infrequent forms of TB in the brain: multiple tuberculomas. A 44-year-old immunocompetent man was admitted complaining of a headache and fever for a week. His physical exam was unremarkable. A magnetic resonance imaging scan of his brain showed two ring-enhancing lesions. The largest lesion was excised surgically and the histopathology exam was consistent with tuberculoma. We will discuss in this report various aspects of this rare disease in term of epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
