title: Intracranial tuberculoma.
abstract: Intracranial tuberculoma was studied by computed tomography (CT) in eight patients. Upon contrast enhancement, two patterns were seen: (a) a small enhancing ring with a central punctate lucent area, and (b) nodular enhancement. The various CT findings are correlated with the clinical features and with the appearance on radionuclide brain scanning and angiography.
