Imaging Contribution to the Diagnosis of Neuro-Meningeal Tuberculosis and Tuberculous Hypophysitis: A Case Report

2025Open accessMohammed V University

Abstract

Neuro-meningeal tuberculosis is a severe form of tuberculosis affecting the central nervous system. Tuberculous hypophysitis is a granulomatous inflammation of the pituitary gland, a rare but potentially severe pathology in the context of disseminated tuberculosis. In children, this condition presents significant diagnostic challenges. This article reviews the commonly used imaging modalities, typical radiological signs, and their role in the diagnosis and management of pediatric neuro-meningeal tuberculosis and its complications.
