Abstract EN
We describe a previously healthy young man who presented with headaches, diplopia with right lateral gaze palsy, dysphagia, and hoarseness over a 2-month period.
Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed a small enhancing mass at the prepontine cistern and chest CT showed a left mediastinal mass.
Mediastinoscopy and lymph node biopsy were performed.
DNA probe and culture of the biopsy specimen were confirmed to be Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
Resolution of neurologic symptoms was noted after 6 weeks, in addition to regression of brain stem and mediastinal lesions after 12 weeks of antituberculous therapy.
