Tuberculosis is a contagious infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and is the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent worldwide. Imaging plays an important role in the early diagnosis of central nervous system tuberculosis and may prevent unnecessary morbidity and mortality. This article presents an extensive review of pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, typical and atypical imaging appearances of intracranial and spinal tuberculosis, and advanced imaging of intracranial tuberculosis. Furthermore, we explore central nervous system infection of nontuberculous mycobacteria and leprosy and their imaging findings.
结核病是由结核分枝杆菌引起的一种传染性疾病，是全球单一感染源导致死亡的主要原因。影像学在中枢神经系统结核病的早期诊断中发挥着重要作用，可预防不必要的发病和死亡。本文对颅内和脊柱结核的发病机制、临床症状、典型和非典型影像学表现以及颅内结核的高级影像学进行了广泛综述。此外，我们还探讨了非结核分枝杆菌和麻风病的中枢神经系统感染及其影像学表现。
