TB involving the CNS and its coverings is a complex and potentially devastating disease. The increasing incidence of this disease in both immunologically normal as well as immunologically incompetent populations makes the subject of TB one of universal concern. Although its appearance on MR is not specific, it is important in the proper clinical setting to recognize the range of possible patterns that can be observed on images. The inclusion of TB in the differential diagnosis on the basis of the patient's region of origin, the socioeconomic background of the patient, and the presence of underlying predisposing disease may potentially promote timely initiation of appropriate therapy.
累及中枢神经系统及其被膜的结核病是一种复杂且可能具有毁灭性的疾病。这种疾病在免疫功能正常和免疫功能不全人群中的发病率不断上升，使得结核病成为一个备受普遍关注的话题。尽管其在磁共振成像（MR）上的表现不具有特异性，但在恰当的临床背景下，识别图像上可能观察到的一系列表现模式很重要。根据患者的原籍地区、社会经济背景以及潜在的易感疾病，将结核病纳入鉴别诊断，可能会促进及时启动适当的治疗。
