Abstract
Central nervous system involvement in tuberculosis is still common in developing countries and can present in a variety of clinical pictures. We report a patient with tuberculous meningitis combined with intra-cerebral tuberculomas, where the presence of unexplained urinary retention led to the discovery of an additional tuberculoma of the conus medullaris. The patient responded well to conservative treatment.
