Abstract
- Tuberculous brain abscess (TBA) in a child was initially misdiagnosed as glioma. Two craniotomies, abscess drainage, and anti-tubercular therapy led to recovery. Pontine TBA, though rare and atypical, can have better outcome with timely intervention.<br />Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflicts of interest.<br /> (© 2024 The Author(s).
