Abstract

Guided - navigation aspiration has emerged as the optimal surgical option for patients with brain abscesses. This minimally invasive technique offers numerous clear advantages. The objective of this paper is to report a rare case of a patient with a brain abscess caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, leading to hydrocephalus. The patient underwent various stages of tuberculous brain abscess and tuberculous meningitis: Guided- navigation aspiration of the abscess was performed to confirm the diagnosis, and cerebrospinal fluid diversion was used to treat hydrocephalus.
