Tuberculoma en Plaque

Intracranial en-plaque tuberculoma impersonating en-plaque meningioma: Case report and brief review of literature

“…Tuberculoma en-plaque is a rare manifestation of intracranial tuberculoma wherein the mass is diffusely infiltrating the dura, often resembling a meningioma en-plaque. It was first reported as an autopsy finding in 1927 by Pardee and Knox[ 10 ] who described it as, “a plaque like meningitic process without exudation, usually situated in the frontal and parietal regions.” They have been described along the cerebral convexity,[ 2 4 ] tentorium cerebelli,[ 5 6 ] dura over petrous bone,[ 3 ] and posterior falx. [ 7 ] They are usually seen in young adults, as opposed to our case who was 73-year-old.…”

Meckel's Cave Tuberculoma with Unusual Infratemporal Extension

“…Other rare locations include the Meckel's cave, 5 pituitary gland and intrasellar region, 10 and cerebellopontine angle 11 . Enplaque tuberculoma is an unusual form described first in 1927 by Pardee and Knox 12 as plaque‐like meningitic process without exudation commonly reported in frontal and parietal convexity, interhemispheric fissure, tentorium cerebelli, and posterior fossa 13,14 …”

Pachymeningeal en Plaque Tuberculoma in Children: A Case Report

“…[7]. It was described for the first time in 1927 by Pardee and Knox as a meningeal process in plaque without exudation[1] [2]. It preferentially sits along the parietal and frontal convexity, tentorial, interhemispheric fissures and in the posterior fossa[8].…”

“…Pachymeningeal tuberculoma is a rare localization of neuro-meningeal tuberculosis (TB) secondary to pachymeningitis due to an infection with mycobacterium tuberculosis [1]. Pachymeningitis has been described as diffuse or localized thickening of the cranial dura mater with or without associated inflammation How to cite this paper: Berete, I., Bah, A.B., Diawara, S., Benzagmout, M., Chakour, K. and Chaoui, M.F.…”
