Thalamic Tuberculoma Presenting as Isolated Gait Disturbance Without Systemic or Meningeal Symptoms in a 2-Year-Old Child: A Case Report

Introduction

Intracranial tuberculoma is an important manifestation of pediatric central nervous system tuberculosis, especially in endemic regions. While seizures and signs of raised intracranial pressure are common presenting features, isolated focal neurological deficits without systemic or meningeal symptoms are rare, resulting in diagnostic delay. We report an unusual case of thalamic tuberculoma presenting primarily with gait disturbance in a young child.
