Axial T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of our patient at day 16 after admission shows an abnormal signal at (a) the corpus callosum and right-sided caudate nucleus as well as (b) the right-sided lentiform nucleus and medial geniculate nucleus extending into the right thalamus and temporal lobe. These abnormal signals are consistent with tuberculomas and lepto-meningeal infiltration of the thalamic region and the basal nuclei by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
