title: [Tuberculous abscess of the central nervous system (author's transl)].
abstract: A case of tuberculous abscess of the cerebellum is reported by the authors. A check-up of concerned literature of ten-past years is drawn up. Diagnosis is seldom raised before surgery in spite of former or evolved tuberculosis. Histology and bacteriology are essential for a supportive therapy. The prognosis is favorable in seventy three per cent of the cases. This pathology must not be forgotten in patients who imigrate from countries of high endemic level of tuberculosis.
