Tuberculoma in the suprasellar cistern: possible CT--misinterpretation as aneurysm.
A patient with multiple intracranial tuberculomas mimicking aneurysms is reported. The diagnosis was established by CT during the treatment of tuberculous meningitis. Anti-tuberculous therapy was continued until the radiological resolution of the lesions. A discussion of previous reports on the non-operative treatment of intracranial tuberculomas is included.
