ABSTRACT
Central nervous system tuberculoma can have different clinical manifestations like headache, seizures, papilledema or other signs of raised intracranial pressure depending up on the site and number of tuberculoma. We report a case of 56 year old female reported with history of bilateral asymmetric ptosis of one month duration,with no other neurological defecit. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain revealed well defined ring enhancing lesion in the medial aspect of left hemi midbrain with diffuse disproportionate perilessional edema. Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomogram (CECT) of chest and abdomen revealed features of disseminated tuberculosis. She was diagnosed as a case of disseminated tuberculosis and started on antitubercular therapy with steroids and the ptosis almost resolved after 01 month of antitubercular therapy. Our case report is unique in the sense that only few cases of midbrain tuberculoma causing occulomotor abnormalities are reported in literature.
