ABSTRACT

Background:

Although tuberculosis (TB) of the central nervous system is quite common, tuberculous pyogenic ventriculitis is not only rare; it is a devastating disease in an immunocompetent patient if left untreated. Case Description We present the case of a 43-year-old man who underwent successful treatment for tuberculous pyogenic ventriculitis that presented with meningeal syndrome and loss of consciousness.

Conclusion:

Tuberculous pyogenic ventriculitis is a rare manifestation of intracranial tuberculous infection. Despite advances in imaging techniques, the diagnosis of intraventricular TB is essentially biological.
