Brain tuberculoma

Cerebral tuberculosis is intracranial tuberculous granulomatous, which is a kind of focal tuberculosis of the brain parenchyma or meninges. Most of the granulomatous lesions formed by tuberculosis lesions in other parts of the body spread into the skull, and a few are diffuse tuberculous. Caused by residual meningitis infection. The incidence of cerebral tuberculoma is 1.4%. It can occur in any part of the skull, more under the scene than on the scene, and more often in children and adolescents. In recent years, due to the improvement of living standards and the application of anti-tuberculosis drugs, the incidence of cerebral tuberculosis has declined.
