AB Cerebral tuberculous abscess is exceptional. We report on the case of a
H.I.V. positive 29 year-old man suffering from high intracranial
pressure together with a cerebellar syndrome. The CT scan revealed a
voluminous abscess of the left cerebellar hemisphere. Anatomical and
pathological examination of the extracted mass showed a tuberculous
abscess. 16 months after surgery and antituberculous treatment, the
patient's symptoms have disappeared and he has resumed his professional
activities. Though controversial, a pathogenic continuum between a
tuberculoma and a tuberculous abscess may be assumed to exist. The
A.I.D.S. pandemic reactivates the tuberculous foci, increases the risks
of contagion reduced the effectiveness of treatment, and justifies a
systematic search for the bacillus of Koch, after puncture, in any
cerebral abscess.
