Abstract:
:Tuberculous meningitis is uncommon in western countries and its outcome is poor when it is not diagnosed and treated in good time. Here, we present a case of febrile brain stroke revealing a tuberculous arachnoiditis in a 13-month-old infant living in a non-endemic country. Thanks to prompt specific antibiotherapy, the clinical outcome was globally favourable in spite of the occurrence of an asymptomatic brain tuberculoma, which disappeared spontaneously. Although tuberculous meningitis is rare in non-endemic countries, it must be evoked in strokes occurring in a febrile context.
