title: Primary Tubercular Liver Abscess Complicated by Tubercular Meningitis in Portal Cavernoma Cholangiopathy.
abstract: While hepatic tuberculosis is rare, primary tubercular liver abscess (TLA) is a rarer condition even in endemic countries such as India. Liver abscess in portal cavernoma cholangiopathy (PCC) is predominantly pyogenic. A 14-year-old girl was found to have PCC with multiple liver abscesses. Persistent fever and development of neurological symptoms prompted further evaluation, and she was found to have primary TLA complicated by tubercular meningitis. We report a rare case of primary TLA complicated by tubercular meningitis in asymptomatic PCC.
