Abstract

Central nervous system tuberculosis can occur in various forms and carries high morbidity despite anti-tubercular treatment. Accurate and early diagnosis based on imaging can help improve prognosis and prevent complications. Confirmation of tubercular bacteria in CSF culture methods, and molecular analysis poses challenges due to invasive and time-consuming procedures. Advanced neuroimaging techniques are greatly helpful in making presumptive diagnoses. Here we described imaging features of multiple forms of CNS tuberculosis with advanced neuroimaging. This paper will help neuroradiologists to identify CNS TB and related imaging features.
