The authors report 5 cases of cerebral miliary tuberculosis studied by computerized tomography and review 5 cases of the literature. Computerized tomography can see very small tuberculomas, of several millimeters. Chest miliary tuberculosis is found in all their cases, and 3 of the 5 cases of the other authors. Because of the discretion of neurological signs and the association with chest miliary, we suggest to make a computed tomography of brain of all patients who have chest miliary tuberculosis despite the absence of neurological signs and we think that we will find out other cases of brain miliary tuberculosis.
作者报告了5例经计算机断层扫描研究的脑粟粒性结核病例，并回顾了文献中的5例病例。计算机断层扫描可以看到几毫米大小的非常小的结核瘤。他们所有病例中均发现有胸部粟粒性结核，其他作者的5例病例中有3例也是如此。由于神经系统体征不明显且与胸部粟粒性结核相关，我们建议对所有患有胸部粟粒性结核的患者进行脑部计算机断层扫描，即使他们没有神经系统体征，并且我们认为将会发现其他脑粟粒性结核病例。
