This is the first report of a case in which diagnosis of en-plaque tuberculoma on the basis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings was confirmed by a Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex-specific PCR assay of cerebrospinal fluid. The accuracy of the diagnosis was supported by good response to antitubercular drugs, which was shown by repeat MRI studies performed after treatment.
这是首例基于磁共振成像（MRI）结果诊断为斑块状结核瘤，后经脑脊液结核分枝杆菌复合群特异性PCR检测得以证实的病例报告。抗结核药物治疗反应良好，治疗后重复MRI检查结果也支持了诊断的准确性。
