Four women with tuberculous meningitis in association with pregnancy are described to illustrate both the serious nature and varied presentation of this condition. Mortality or neurological morbidity may occur more frequently during pregnancy, but in general correlate closely with delay in diagnosis and initiation of appropriate therapy. Treatment often needs to be started empirically, and neurosurgical intervention may prove life saving.
