Abstract
The radiological abnormalities reported in CNS tuberculosis and their pathological correlates are discussed. Focal tuberculous involvement of the CNS without formation of tuberculoma is rare. The MR features in this case were also distinctly unusual for CNS tuberculosis. Therefore, histological confirmation of all lesions thought to be a low grade glioma is mandatory.
