1 Seizures, Paraplegia, and Cough Unveiling Disseminated Tuberculosis

2 Figure (A) Postcontrast computed tomography (CT) of the brain, showing multiple ring-enhancing lesions corresponding to tuberculous granulomas (arrows). Postcontrast magnetic resonance imaging (B) reveals similar lesions in the brainstem, the cerebellum, and the spinal cord (arrows). (C) Chest CT demonstrating a fine diffuse micronodular pattern with centrilobular predominance consistent with small airway infection as evidenced by peripheral “tree-in-bud” opacities (subpleural area enlargement in the window), as well as noncentrilobular fine nodules consistent with super-imposed miliary disease. (D) Pelvis CT gated on bones. The right sacroiliac joint demonstrates asymmetric widening with cortical destruction on both sides of the joint. There is bony destruction of the posterior medial iliac bone with a pathological fracture as evidenced by cortical breaks medially and laterally (arrow).
