Intracranial multiple tuberculomas: 2 unusual cases

Intracranial Tbms have become rare in developed countries, but TB is still a very common infectious disease at worldwide level. Therefore, diagnosis should be kept in mind when confronted with brain space-occupying lesions, especially in the immunocompromised or malnutritional hosts such as liver cirrhosis. When no other active extracranial tuberculous process is found, the diagnosis should be confirmed by a biopsy before beginning antituberculous treatment, which is rapidly effective. We have not encountered in the literature such a case of multiple intracranial Tbms associated with liver cirrhosis in an adult patient.
