Findings in computerized axial tomography of tuberculous encephalopathy.

A 24 year-old woman with miliary tuberculosis of the lungs, developed a diffuse encephalopathy with signs of increased intracraneal pressure and without meningitis. A CAT scanner disclosed decreased density of the white matter and multiple nodular lesions enhanced with the infusion of contrast media. To our knowledge, this is the first description of the findings in computerized axial tomography of a patient with miliary tuberculosis and hematogenous dissemination associated to diffuse encephalopathy without meningitis.
