“…Furthermore, the second report predominantly used MRI, which is a more sensitive method for detecting the extent of leptomeningeal disease and is superior to CT scanning in detecting parenchymal abnormalities, such as tuberculomas, abscesses, and infarctions. In addition, MRI also readily depicts early hydrocephalus [22,23,24,25]. …”

Background: Tuberculous meningitis is the severest and commonest form of central nervous system tuberculosis causing high mortality and morbidity. We aim to study the clinical, biochemical, and radiological characteristics of tuberculous meningitis in adult patients in Qatar and to calculate the incidence. Methods: A descriptive retrospective 7-year study was conducted at the Hamad General Hospital (the only tertiary referral center and sole health care provider for tuberculosis in Qatar) between the 1st of January 2006 and the 31st of December 2012, to describe the clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, outcome, and the incidence of adult tuberculous meningitis in Qatar. Results: Tuberculous meningitis was diagnosed in 80 patients (65 male, 15 female), with a mean age of 30.3 w 8.9. The majority of patients (76.3%) were from the Indian subcontinent. The commonest clinical features were fever (79%), headache (71%), and meningism (56%). Cerebrospinal fluid tuberculosis culture was positive in 44% of patients. Almost 39% of patients were in Stage I, 46% in Stage II and 15% in Stage III of the disease. The commonest neuroimaging features were leptomeningeal enhancement (34%) and hydrocephalus (33%). Cranial nerve palsy, limb weakness, and an elevated C-reactive protein were associated with a poorer outcome. Sixty eight percent had complete recovery, 10% had residual neurological sequelae without disability, 17% had disability, and 5% died. The average incidence of tuberculous meningitis over 7 years was 0.9 per 100,000 adult population. Conclusion: The characteristics of tuberculous meningitis were described in our population. Our data indicate that the incidence of tuberculosis meningitis in Qatar has increased. Tuberculous meningitis in Qatar is mainly an imported disease. i 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel

“…Cette observation souligne la valeur diagnostique des rétinographies en couleurs en tant qu'examen complémen-taire de l'angiographie pour la mise en évidence des foyers inflammatoires du vitré. Par ailleurs, elle montre l'intérêt des examens radiologiques simples comme l'échographie pour l'étude de certains éléments sémiologiques du granulome comme la calcification et les foyers vitréens postérieurs, difficilement analysés par l'IRM [8][9][10]. En revanche, le scanner et surtout l'IRM ont été performants pour l'analyse de la névrite optique.…”
