Abstract
CT [computed tomographic] appearances of 25 tuberculomas were described. The image morphology of the immature forms was small discs and rings with massive edema. The mature forms appeared as large rings or lobulated masses. The large rings enclosed a mass, a little more dense than brain; the lobulated masses represented coalesced small discs and rings forming a large tuberculoma. These images were consistent and repetitive in tuberculomas. The larger masses formed the surgical group and needed excision; the smaller masses formed the medical group and had successful medical therapy with serial scans to document healing. The presence of multiple masses was recorded in 55% of the cases.
