“…Antiödem amaçlı 6-8 hafta kortikosteroid, TB tedavisine eklenmelidir. [19][20][21][22] Tanıyı ve tedaviye yanıtı takip etmede radyolojik görüntüleme önemli rol oynamaktadır. Ancak, kesin tanı koydurucu bir radyolojik inceleme yöntemi bulunmamaktadır.…”

yılında, dünyada yaklaşık 10,4 milyon yeni tüberkü-loz (TB ) ve 480.000 yeni çok ilaça dirençli TB (ÇİD-TB) hasta sayıları ile; TB ciddi bir halk sağlığı sorunu olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Aynı yılda, 1,4 milyon kişinin TB nedeni ile öldüğü ve bu hastaların 340.000'inin ÇİD-TB tanılı olduğu hesaplanmıştır.1,2 Bu ne- A An na ah h t ta ar r K Ke e l li i m me e l le er

“…Tuberculomas located in the brainstem are rare and account for 2.5-8% of all intracranial tuberculomas in large series. Most cases of pontine tuberculomas accompany supratentorial or meningeal lesions; solitary pontine tuberculomas are rare 5 .…”

“…In such cases systemic corticosteroids are worthwhile and effective as adjuvant therapy for 4 to 8 weeks. 1,2,5 A tuberculosis skin test and the QuantiFERON-TB tests have been used in the diagnosis of latent Tbc but they have some limitations. CSF examination is still the gold standard and the key to the diagnosis of intracranial tuberculosis.…”

Merkezi sinir sistemi (MSS) tüberkülozu dünyanın belli bölgelerinde yaygın bir endemik sorun olmaya devam eden bulaşıcı bir hastalıktır. Intrakranial tüberküloma genellikle meningeal irritasyon ve artmış intrakranial basınç semptomları ile ortaya çıkan granülomatöz yer kaplayan kitle lezyonudur. Biz farklı aşamalarında ve lokalizasyonlarda intrakraniyal tüberkülozu olan üç olgunun manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) bulgularını bildirdik. Tüberkülozun MSS tutulumu tüberküloz menenjit ve tüberküloma şeklinde görülür. Tüberküloma formu daha sık görülür. Vücudun başka yerinde tüberkülozu olan ya da tüberkülozun endemik olduğu bölgede yaşayan hastaların MRG sinde halkasal şekilde kontrast tutan düşük sinyal intensiteli lezyon ya da T2 ağırlıklı sekanslarda geçici hiperintens sinyallerin görülmesi halinde ayırıcı tanıda MSS tüberkülozu düşünülmelidir.

“…There are isolated adults cases with brainstem and cerebellar tuberculomas reported worldwide in the last 10 years [5][6][7][8][9], wherein diagnosis was mainly at the time of surgery or at necropsy. The clinical diagnosis of this condition is difficult in practice, and a delay in the diagnosis of this curable disease contributes to significant neurologic sequelae.…”

Backgrounds: Tuberculoma is a granulomatous inflammatory process mimicking a neoplasm, both clinically and radiologically. Although those with an infratentorial origin are rare, this disease is still a diagnostic challenge using conventional workup. However, this disease should not be overlooked because it is essentially curable with proper diagnosis and therapy, usually, a Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) DNA test is performed. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical presentations, CSF results, and images of 11 MTB DNA positive and clinically cured cases of infratentorial tuberculoma. Results: Infratentorial tuberculoma usually deteriorated before antituberculosis treatment (ATT). Magnetic resonance imaging showed space-occupying lesions without specific features, 4 within the cerebellum and 7 within the brainstem. Evidence of systemic tuberculosis was found in only 1 case. Clinical manifestations included various combinations of focal signs and symptoms in the brain stem and cerebellum. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings were also nonspecific. The diagnoses of these cases were based on the positive tests of a nested polymerase chain reaction (N-PCR) assay. Trial therapy with antituberculous drugs resulted in clinical improvement, as documented by MRI in all patients. Conclusions: Infratentorial tuberculoma should be suspected in patients with infratentorial space-occupying lesions who live in geographic areas where tuberculosis is endemic.
