Contribution of brain imaging to the diagnosis of intracranial tuberculoma and other brain lesions in patients presenting with miliary tuberculosis.
CONCLUSION: Among patients presenting with miliary TB who underwent brain imaging, more than 60% demonstrated cerebral involvement. Abnormal imaging could occur without any clinical nor CSF impairment. Systematically performing brain imaging in miliary TB patients could therefore be informative.
