Hi the MRI report of your brain shows lesson which are commonly due to infection by cysticercosis or tuberculosis in Indian population. Based of the appearance of lesion in MRI sometimes It's difficult to confirm the cause. If the lesion is large with more edema than tuberculosis is common. In your case the second MRI shows resolution of lesion with edema seen. It's better to continue the anti TB treatment for few more months as the lesion is responding to treatment. A high quality MRI after few weeks may show whether the edema has gone or any scar if lesion is seen. Wish u early recovery.
