Descriptor tuberculoma intracraneal
Entry term(s) absceso tuberculoso intracraneal
Scope note: Masa bien circunscrita compuesta por tejido de granulación tuberculoso que puede afectar a los hemisferios cerebrales, el cerebelo, el tronco cerebral o los espacios perimeníngeos. Son muy frecuentes las lesiones múltiples. El tratamiento de las manifestaciones intracraneales varía dependiendo del sitio de las lesiones. Los tuberculomas intracraneales pueden asociarse a CONVULSIONES, déficits neurológicos focales e HIPERTENSIÓN INTRACRANEAL. Los tuberculomas de la médula espinal pueden asociarse a dolor localizado o radicular, decaimiento, pérdida de sensibilidad e incontinencia. Los tuberculomas pueden surgir como INFECCIONES OPORTUNISTAS, pero también aparecen en individuos inmunocompetentes.

Scope note: A well-circumscribed mass composed of tuberculous granulation tissue that may occur in the cerebral hemispheres, cerebellum, brain stem, or perimeningeal spaces. Multiple lesions are quite common. Management of intracranial manifestations vary with lesion site. Intracranial tuberculomas may be associated with SEIZURES, focal neurologic deficits, and INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION. Spinal cord tuberculomas may be associated with localized or radicular pain, weakness, sensory loss, and incontinence. Tuberculomas may arise as OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS, but also occur in immunocompetent individuals.
