Suprasellar tuberculoma

Abstract

Tuberculosis is among the most lethal infectious diseases. Although incidence of intracranial tuberculosis is low in developed countries, it is still rampant in the developing world. The most common location of intracranial tuberculomas in adults is the cerebral hemisphere, and in children, the posterior fossa. The suprasellar tuberculomas are extremely rare and pose a diagnostic challenge. We describe a patient with concomitant suprasellar and cerebellar tuberculoma.
