Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Intracranial tuberculoma mostly occurs in supratentorial location in adult patients and there are isolated cases with Infratentorial tuberculoma reported in the literature in the last 10 years. A 49-year-old man presented with progressive staggering gait and headache for 3 months and was diagnosed with a giant cerebullar tuberculoma. Although rare, our case demonstrates that tuberculoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of infratentorial tumor in immunocompetent adults.
