Çoklu intrakranial tüberkülomlar ve tüberküler beyin apsesi ile ilişkili akciğer tüberkülozu
"Mycobacterium tuberculosis" yaygın bir hastalık olmasına rağmen, miliyer tüberkülozis, özellikle, tüberkülomlar, nadir görülen patolojilerdir. Miliyer tüberkülozun ve diğer organ tüberkülozlarının tanısı oldukça zordur. Bu makalede artmış intrakraniyal basınç ve solunumsal semptomları olan iki olgu bildirilmektedir. Mikobakterium tüberkülozis tanısı konulan olguların biri beyin tüberkülomu ile ilişkili iken, diğer olguda tüberkülomun komplikasyonu sonucu gelişen apse mevcuttu. Apse gelişimi de konvülsiyona neden olmaktaydı. Olgular tüberküloz hastalığının farklı klinik ve radyolojik bulgularına sahip oldukları için sunulmuştur
Pulmonary tuberculosis associated with multiple intracranial tuberculomas and tubercular brain abscess
Although mycobacterium tuberculosis is a widespread disease, miliary tuberculosis especially tuberculomas is a rare pathological condition. The diagnosis of miliary tuberculosis and the involvement of other systems by tuberculosis are difficult. We reported two cases with having respiratory and high intracranial pressure symptoms. They diagnosed as mycobacterium tuberculosis associated with brain tuberculomas, and abscess formation developed as a complication of tuberculomas in one of the patients. The development of abscess formation was the cause of convulsion. The cases were presented due to presence of different clinical and radiological findings on tuberculous disease
