Central nervous system tuberculosis usually presents as tuberculous meningitis, intracranial tuberculoma, tuberculous brain abscess, or tuberculous mass. Tuberculoma originates as a conglomerate of microgranulomata in an area of tuberculous cerebritis that joins to form a non-caseating tuberculoma. We report a patient with central nervous system tuberculosis that showed evolution of caseating granuloma from cerebritis in the corpus callosum.

中樞神經系統結核往往表現為結核性腦膜炎、顱內結核球、結核性腦膿腫或結核性腫塊。結核性腦炎病變區域的微小肉芽腫融合為非乾酪性結核球,進而形成乾酪性結核球。本文報告一名中樞神經系統結核病患者,其胼胝體的結核性腦炎演變成乾酪樣肉芽腫。
