[Clinical and pathological study of a peculiar form of tuberculous meningitis: diagnostic and therapeutic problems (author's transl)].
The authors report a case of tuberculous meningitis in which multiple bacteriological samples were negative during the eleven months of the clinical course. There were no other visceral localizations. The fatal outcome was due to vascular lesions (multiple cerebral infarcts), and to CSF flow disorders. The findings of cranial computerized axial tomography and of the pathological examination are reported.
