Abstract EN
Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection with multi- system presentations.
Involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) is considered the most lethal form among all types.
In addition to possible fatality, CNS TB has serious neurological sequelae.
These morbidity issues along with diagnostic challenges doubles the clinical burden.
In recent years, there have been improvements in diagnostic sensitivity and specificity due to advances in technology.
Herein, we report an atypical case of a patient with TB who presented to our department and discuss the flow of the diagnostic workup.
