We present a case of a young child who developed eight-and-a-half syndrome following a pontine tuberculoma, an unusual complication of central nervous system tuberculosis not previously described in an immunocompetent child. The combination of clinical findings allowed for precise localization of the lesion whilst magnetic resonance T1 weighted imaging with contrast provided valuable etiological information. We also discuss the management and outcome of the case.
我们报告一例幼儿在患桥脑结核瘤后出现八点半综合征，这是中枢神经系统结核的一种不寻常并发症，此前在免疫功能正常的儿童中未曾描述过。临床发现的组合有助于精确确定病变部位，而增强磁共振T1加权成像提供了有价值的病因学信息。我们还讨论了该病例的治疗及预后情况。
