Tuberculoma of the central nervous system

Central nervous system tuberculoma refers to caseous necrosis and granulomatous lesions caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis entering the spinal cord or brain. Imaging examinations suggest an intracranial space-occupying lesion, resembling a tumor, hence the name tuberculoma. It is not a true tumor but a special type of tuberculosis. Patients with tuberculoma, in addition to symptoms related to tuberculosis, may also experience central nervous system symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and seizures.
