title: [Tuberculous meningitis. One case: ophthalmic complications].
abstract: METHODS
  An 18 year old female suffering from tuberculous meningitis with bilateral amaurosis, ophthalmoplegia, other cranial nerve palsies and loss of consciousness, is presented.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Tuberculous meningitis is a rare cause of basal arachnoiditis with a bad prognosis. Possible causes of visual acuity loss and ophthalmoplegia are discussed and a favourable outcome without sequelae is noteworthy in our case.
