  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 49-year-old male with tuberculous meningitis was reported, When admitted to our hospital with mildright hemiparesis, he was alert but he developed disorientation 7 days later, A diagnosis of tuberculousmeningitis was reached because of elevated levels of adenosine-deaminase at 19.6U/liter in the cerebrospi-nal fluid MRI showed a marked enhancement in the basal cisterns and an enhanced intraparenchymal le-sion in the brainstem. Chronological changes of MRI findings did not closely correlate with the clinicalcourse. Slight meningeal enhancement on MRI seems to remain for a long time without active tuberculousmeningltis, and absence of the meningeal enhancement on MRI is not necessarily appropriate as a markerof cure of tuberculous meningitis.
