The cerebral tuberculoma is an expansive process of slow evolution of the tuberculous bacillus. Bacteriological diagnosis is rarely made. It is usually radiological or histological. The treatment is medical and surgical. We conducted a retrospective study from March 2007 to February 2010 which focused on three cases of cerebral tuberculoma. Two of our patients were male, 75% against 25% female: The age of our three patients was respectively 47, 23, and 4 years. The history of extrapulmonary tuberculosis was found in one case. The heaviness of the head was the pattern in a patient operated on for Pott's disease. The diagnosis was suspected by neuroradiology in 3 patients and histological confirmation was made in 2 cases. The polychimiotherapy of 12 months was established and the improvement has been obtained from the third month of treatment. |
