Doctors in South Korea reported a unique case of a 57-year-old patient diagnosed with CNS tuberculoma, a dangerous manifestation of tuberculosis. After experiencing headaches and tingling, MRI scans revealed 'starry sky' patterns indicating multiple brain lesions. Although tuberculosis primarily affects the lungs, it can spread through the bloodstream to infect the brain. This case exemplifies tuberculosis's ability to form tuberculomas, comprised of bacteria and immune cells, demonstrating a challenging medical condition with serious implications for the patient's health.
