Twelve patients with proven tuberculosis were studied by computed tomography. Three had tuberculomas and nine had tuberculous meningitis. Although a definite diagnosis is often not possible on CT, the method is of value in determining number, location and extent of lesions. In patients with tuberculous meningitis, CT is helpful in assessing the degree of hydrocephalus and in evaluating the effectiveness of antituberculous therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
