title: [Cerebral tuberculoma in pregnancy].
abstract: Intracranial tuberculomas today are rare in industrialized countries. We report the case of a 29 year old female German patient who in the sixth month of her pregnancy presented with epilepsy and mild hemiparesis. Cranial CT showed a parietal contrast-enhancing lesion. Mediastinal tuberculosis was confirmed by biopsy. Both the mediastinal and the cerebral lesion together with the neurological signs resolved under therapy with antituberculous drugs, and the patient gave birth to a healthy child.
