Unusual cerebral tuberculoma.
The unusual occurrence of a cerebral tuberculoma is herewith reported. The first manifestation of the tuberculous infection was an optic perineuritis. Treatment of the "papillitis" with steroids was followed by Jacksonian seizures--the signature of the tuberculoma. Surgical excision has produced a cure.
