Abstract
The design of the work is to describe brain tuberculoma in an adolescent. Tuberculoma is defined as the unfamiliar incidence of tuberculosis in divergent parts of the body Fifty years of Tuberculosis Control projects have been abortive in declining the prevalence of the infection in major parts of the world even after using potentially potent drugs however TB persists to kill all age groups. We report the case of a 14 years old boy presented with history of seizures associated with altered consciousness, unrolling of eyes, frothing from angle of mouth, tongue bite, vomiting and post ictal confusion, weakness and blurred vision of left eye. He had three indistinguishable incidents of seizures. The presented case has been recovering by using anti-tubercular treatment. Early diagnosis will make the disease worsen less and it makes patient to respond well to treatment provided.
