摘要
Introduction: The most common cause of tuberculous meningitis is a hematogenous spread of mycobacteria from the lungs. tuberculous meningitis is a fatal disease. Symptoms typically worsen over time, and there are three clinical stages to the disease (prodromal phase, phase of neurological symptoms and phase of paresis) Case Presentation: The chief complaint of a one-year-old boy was fever, irritability, vomiting, and Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure convulsions. The patient's pupils were found to be unequal on physical examination, prompting a repeat neuroimaging. It was done on MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) with T1 hyperintensity on T2 and restricted diffusion on DWI (diffusion-weighted imaging) he has not improved after taking treatment and the patient is on a ventilator as well, we nasogastric tube also. I was receiving treatment and will continue to do so until the end of my care. Conclusion: In our environment, tuberculous meningitis that presents late is not uncommon. It arrived late at our medical facility. After a full recovery, the patient's comprehensive health care team collaborates to help him regain his previous level of independence and satisfaction. This report is intended to raise clinician awareness of tuberculous meningitis' unusual clinical presentation. Tuberculous meningitis is treated holistically with a focus on medical and nursing management.
