Conclusion
- CNS TB is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with tuberculosis.
MR imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosis because of its inherent sensitivity and specificity in detecting CNS lesions earlier than CT.
- We conclude that conventional MRI imaging supplemented by advanced MRI techniques helps in improved detection and characterisation of CNS tuberculosis and may help in better management of these patients.
