Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed cerebral infarctions and hydrocephalus resulting in suspicion of tuberculous meningitis. A few days after admission, external ventricular drainage was carried out for acute hydrocephalus.

The CSF polymerase chain reaction test for tuberculosis was found to be positive 2 weeks later.
