Clinical records of patients with pathologically proven tuberculoma were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical presentation, lesion location, radiological characteristics, perioperative and surgical management, and outcome is summarized and analyzed. Eight patients were included and there was one girl. Age ranged from 3 to 14 years with mean age 9.8 years. Clinical duration ranged from 20 days to 2 years, and 3 patients had previous lung tuberculosis with anti-TB treatment. The lesion was in cerebellum in 6 cases, including 1 involving basal ganglia and 1 involving thalamus. The lesion was in basal ganglia, thalamus, and third ventricle in 1 case, and in T12-L1 spinal cord in another. Cerebellar lesion was resected via paramedian suboccipital approach in 5 patients, basal ganglia lesion via trans-cortical frontal horn approach in 2 patients, and intra-spinal lesion via trans-laminar approach in 1 patient. Follow-up ranged from 10 to 24 months. Of the 8 patients, 6 returned to normal life. One patient had cerebellar lesion resected and the thalamic lesion reduced in size after anti-TB treatment. One patient died from TB spreading. Our data showed that most patients can be successfully treated by resection of the lesion. Low T2 signal, ring shaped enhancement and peripheral edema strongly suggest tuberculoma. Empirical anti-TB treatment should be initiated perioperatively.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00381-021-05091-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,6]],"date-time":"2021-03-06T14:02:45Z","timestamp":1615039365000},"page":"2935-2941","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Giant central nervous system tuberculoma in pediatric patients: surgical case series"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Xiao","family":"Xiao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qiang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Ju","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"5091_CR1","first-page":"153","volume":"7","author":"JA Seddon","year":"2014","unstructured":"Seddon JA, Shingadia D (2014) Epidemiology and disease burden of tuberculosis in children: A global perspective.
