[Tuberculous meningitis with pituitary abscess].

Although rare, the possibility of pituitary tuberculoma should be considered in the diagnosis of non-pituitary intrasellar masses, especially in an endemic area and if radiologic imaging shows pituitary stalk thickening. We describe the case of a 52-year-old patient who presented tuberculous meningitis complicated by a pituitary abscess. He was treated with antituberculous drugs. The follow-up MRI 16 and 48 months later showed the decreased size of the pituitary mass. Radiological features and a review of the literature of pituitary tuberculoma are briefly discussed.
