Abstract
Tuberculomas located in the brainstem are rare entities. This article presents a case study detailing the diagnosis and treatment process of a patient with a pontine tuberculoma, as well as a literature review of tuberculomas located in the pons. A 39-year-old male patient showed progressive quadriparesis and deficits in VII, XI, and XII cranial nerves. MRI image initially suggested a pontine astrocytoma. A second biopsy revealed the presence of acid-fast bacilli. Following six months of anti-tuberculous treatment, the patient showed successful recovery.
