A few cases were reported in the literature. The radiological appearance can be mistakenly diagnosed as en-plaque meningioma. Case Description: We report a rare case of a 45-year-old male with tuberculoma mimicking en-plaque meningioma who underwent surgical excision followed by anti-tuberculosis (TB) medications. Follow-up brain imaging after three months showed a favorable outcome. Conclusion: Tuberculoma mimicking en-plaque meningioma should be considered in the differential diagnosis where TB is endemic.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/fa4170c4-2e45-42c0-b646-c8ba30ffedeb/featured/hero-1781559616441.png","publishDate":"2024-04-05T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_94_2024","categories":["Infection","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/12845/SNI-15-118.pdf"}
