Blepharospasm With Photophobia Secondary to Midbrain Tuberculoma and Thalamic Infarct

Conclusions: Our patient had tuberculoma in the midbrain and chronic infarcts in the thalamus, and both lesions may cause blepharospasm and photophobia independently, so it is difficult to ascertain the causative lesion in our patient. However, it is possible that these heterogenous lesions are all part of a single functionally connected brain network and further studies are required to confirm this hypothesis.
