ABSTRACT:
The
development or growth of cerebellar tuberculomas in the first weeks
following the start of antituberculous treatment is a complication that
may arise in some patients with tuberculous meningitis. These lesions
usually respond to treatment with antituberculous drugs, with surgery
being reserved for those cases that do not respond well to treatment.
Immunological mechanisms have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis of
these lesions. We present six patients included in the tuberculous
meningitis protocol of the Neurology Service of the Eugenio Espejo
Hospital who presented this complication.
