tuberculoma/vomiting

We report a case of a previously healthy 23-year-old Somalian care assistant. She presented with a 4 month history of persistent occipital headaches associated with intermittent nausea and vomiting. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed a large enhancing lesion in

A 25-year-old female presented with a 1-month history of headache and vomiting. Computed tomography revealed several enhanced nodules with surrounding edema in the right cerebellum. A T2-weighted magnetic resonance image showed heterogeneous high signal intensity throughout the right cerebellar

A 35-year-old woman presented with a 6-month history of intermittent headaches, vomiting and dizziness. CT showed a plaque-like mass with tiny calcifications along the surface of the left frontal lobe. The mass exhibited heterogeneous enhancement with a few low-density foci. Underlying sulcal

A case of cystic cerebral tuberculoma is presented. A 63-year-old man was admitted initially to a sanatorium in May, 1983, for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. He developed headache and vomiting, and suddenly had a right hemiconvulsion on September 27, 1983. Gradually he developed right

BACKGROUND The tuberculosis is a disease that continues being important cause of morbidity and mortality at worldwide level. Its presentation as tuberculomas cerebral manifold at level of the central nervous system is little frequent in immunocompetent patients and can be confused with other

A 62-year-old woman developed headache, vomiting and fever. On admission to hospital, she showed an imparied level of consciousness, diplopia on left lateral gaze, bilateral hearing loss and left hemiparesis. Cranial contrast computed tomography (CT) revealed basal meningeal enhancement. Lumbar

A case of multiple intracerebral tuberculoma occurred in the course of anti-tuberculous therapy is reported. A 16-year-old high school boy had been treated with isoniagid, streptomycin and paramino-salicylic acid on the tuberculous pleulitis for 3 months previously. He was admitted to our hospital

Central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis is the second most common presentation after tuberculous meningitis. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the developing countries, accounting for 10-30% of intracranial expansive lesions in these countries against 0.2% in some Western

BACKGROUND This paper presents an unusual form of disseminated Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in a dog. The infection lasted at least one year and its main gross lesions were massive cardiac tuberculomas. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of heart tuberculomas in a

Intracranial tuberculoma and neurocysticercosis (NCC) are the most frequent granulomatous infections in the central nervous system. Here we report a 41-year-old man with disseminated intracranial tuberculoma mimicking NCC. The patient complained of relapsing vertigo and vomiting consistent with

A young girl presented with history of prolonged fever, vomiting and headache. CT scan of brain revealed a space occupying lesion in posterior cranial fossa with moderate hydrocephalus. Surgery was performed and histopathology report confirmed the lesion as tuberculous. Patient showed smooth

Neurotuberculosis is a potentially fatal disease which requires prompt diagnosis and immediate multidrug antitubercular treatment as per international guidelines. There is evidence that the bacterial spread can continue even during therapy at least in its initial stages. We monitored our patient not

Seven weeks after a generalized cerebral seizure a 27-year-old woman from Ghana developed nausea, vomiting and weight loss, gradually increasing over two weeks. Cranial computed tomography revealed several hyperdense formations with extensive associated oedema and a midline shift. Among extensive

Female patients who present with adnexial mass and weight loss should not be presumed to have ovarian carcinoma until after extensive investigation. This is to avoid the mistake of radical surgery with its attendant morbidity and mortality. An important disease to consider in our environment is
