AbstractCerebral infarction (CI) is a serious complication of tuberculous meningitis (TBM). It can be asymptomatic or symptomatic, causing stroke. We studied 40 TBM patients. All had initial CT brain scan, CT/MRI brain scan 3 months later and urgent CT brain scan for deterioration. CI was classified into lacunar infarction (LI) or large artery infarction (LAI). Twelve (30%) had CI, in 9 (23%) it was symptomatic and in 3 (8%) silent. Seven (58%) had LAI ± LI. Eight (67%) had multiple CI. Two died from brainstem CI and 6 were dependent at 1 year. Patients with LAI might develop posterior circulation CI more frequently than those with LI only. CI is a common complication of TBM locally, with LAI and multiple CI being common. Two thirds of TBM patients complicated by CI had poor prognosis despite adjunctive dexamethasone treatment. Copyright © 2005 S. Karger AG.
