A case of an intracranial tuberculoma located within the confines of the Meckel's cave is presented. The patient was young, non-immunocompromised and otherwise in good health. The granuloma mingled with the fibres of the trigeminal nerve. The lesion mimicked a trigeminal neurinoma in its clinical presentation, preoperative investigations and intraoperative consistency and vascularity. The rarity of the location and possible mode of transmission of infection to this site is discussed. The literature on this subject is briefly reviewed.
本文报告一例位于梅克尔腔范围内的颅内结核瘤病例。患者年轻，无免疫功能低下，身体健康状况良好。肉芽肿与三叉神经纤维交织在一起。该病变在临床表现、术前检查以及术中质地和血管分布方面均酷似三叉神经鞘瘤。文中讨论了该部位的罕见性以及感染可能传播至该部位的方式，并对该主题的文献进行了简要综述。
