The neuroradiological findings in a case of cerebral tuberculoma.
This paper describes the neuroradioloigical findings in a case of cerebral tuberculoma. Computed tomography demonstrated a mass in contact with the cranial bone with marked contrast enhancement and accompanied by perifocal cerebral edema. External carotid angiography revealed a homogenous stain supplied from the middle meningeal artery. Furthermore, by radioisotope scan it appeared to be a region of increased uptake with a comparatively clear border and was thereby misdiagnosed as meningioma.
