There are various manifestations of central nervous system tuberculosis including meningitis and space occupying lesions. We present a case of tuberculoma en-plaque which is often initially confused with a meningioma on presentation. We also review the literature relevant to this unusual entity. Methods: A search of PubMed, PubMed Central, the Cochrane Library, and MEDLINE were performed to identify all English language reports of intracranial en-plaque tuberculomas. The combinations of text strings \u201ctuberculoma,\u201d \u201cen*,\u201d and \u201cplaque\u201d were used to perform the query on PubMed. Only the studies reporting intracranial en-plaque tuberculomas were included. Results: Literature review revealed six reports on en-plaque tuberculomas including seven patients. The mean age at presentation was 40.5 years, and no sex predilection was seen. Five of the six reported studies used anti-tuberculous therapy with or without surgical excision of the mass. Most of the patients in reported cases recovered fully. Conclusion: It is imperative to consider tuberculoma as an important differential when encountering intracranial en-plaque masses as en-plaque tuberculomas can be effectively treated with a combination of anti-tuberculosis therapy and surgical resection, yet consequences of a missed or late diagnosis can prove fatal.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/1793-5482.175619","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,3]],"date-time":"2016-02-03T09:40:36Z","timestamp":1454492436000},"page":"576-579","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Intracranial
