Multifocal tuberculosis with cerebellar tuberculoma

: A 10-year old child was admitted for vomiting and a high grade fever. He had been previously immunized twice against tuberculosis. A cerebellar syndrome appeared, and the brain CT scan showed an intracerebellar mass. Disseminated lesions were detected on abdominal (splenic abscess) and thoracic (mediastinal lymph nodes) CT scans. The bone scintigraphy also showed multiple localisations. A craniotomy was performed that revealed a cerebellar tuberculoma which was completely removed. The child received an antituberculous treatment over 18 months and is currently well with a 5 year follow-up.
