Abstract

The authors report a case of tuberculoma in the posterior fossa, that developed 1 year after a procedure of ventriculo-peritonial shunt due to communicating hydrocephalus as complication of tuberculous meningitis. Brain CT demonstrated the tuberculoma at right quadrigeminal plate. Operation was done under the operating microscope at Sept.14.1984 and confirmed completely removal of tuberculomatous mass.
