Central nervous system tuberculoma poses a clinical challenge due to its rarity. A positive diagnosis relies on a combination of presumptive clinical, biological, and radiological findings, whereas a definitive diagnosis requires histopathological confirmation. MRI is crucial for patients with suspected cerebral tuberculoma, particularly in countries where tuberculosis is prevalent.
