Asian J Neurosurg. 2016 Apr-Jun;11(2):175-6. doi: 10.4103/1793-5482.177658.

Abstract

Intracranial tuberculomas are less common lesions; sellar, suprasellar, or parasellar involvement is further rarer with only few case reports in the literature. We describe a case of 44-year-old female, discussing the imaging findings that were managed successfully for tubercular hypothalamic-pituitary abscesses.

Keywords: Abscess; hypothalamic abscess; magnetic resonance imaging; sellar; tubercular abscess; tuberculoma; tuberculosis.
