Brain tuberculosis (TB) is a severe form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis that affects the central nervous system, particularly the brain and its surrounding membranes. It usually arises from the spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from other infected sites in the body, such as the lungs. Symptoms can include headaches, seizures, neurological deficits, and altered mental status. Prompt diagnosis and treatment with antitubercular medications are crucial to improve outcomes and prevent complications.
