Figure 1 Common MRI findings in adults with tuberculous meningitis A: Contrast enhanced axial T1-weighted image reveals thick leptomeningeal enhancement in suprasellar cistern extending into sylvian fissures and ambient cisterns. Temporal horns are also dilated. B: Contrast enhanced axial T1-weighted image reveals leptomeningeal enhancement within cortical sulci and sylvian fissures. Diffuse low signal around sylvian fissures suggests oedematous change. C: Axial T1-weighted image reveals hydrocephalus with dilated lateral and third ventricles. D: Sagittal T1-weighted image following intravenous contrast administration. There is prominent enhancement in the pituitary fossa and along the hypothalamus. The aqueduct of sylvius is clearly patent and third ventricle is dilated. E: Contrast enhanced coronal T1-weighted image. Multiple enhancing nodules, principally parenchymal but also ependymal and leptomeningeal. F: Contrast enhanced coronal T1-weighted image. Marked basal and right sylvian fissure leptomeningeal enhancement is present. Lateral ventricles are dilated. G: Enhanced axial T1-weighted image. There is a large nodular focus of enhancement within the left sylvian fissure extending into the left temporal lobe associated with substantial low-signal change. H: Axial T2-weighted image reveals extensive high signal within left cerebral hemisphere with large heterogeneous signal tuberculoma in sylvian fissure. I: Gadolinium-enhanced T1 coronal imaging showing extensive basal meningeal enhancement and established left capsulostriate lacunar infarct.
