Tuberculoma is second only to neoplastic lesions as a cause of raised intracranial tension.
Tuberculosis is quite common in developing countries.
It is therefore quite likely that a pregnant patient with history of convulsions may have tuberculoma. We had a similar case of a term pregnancy with history of convulsions. CT scan clinched the diagnosis of tuberculoma. The patient was delivered by caesarean section and later was operated for removal of the tuberculoma. The diagnosis of tuberculoma was confirmed later on histopathology.
