A case of intracranial tuberculosis due to Mycobacterium bovis is presented. Computed tomography (CT) identified multiple enhancing lesions which by biopsy proved to be intracranial tuberculomas. The CT appearance, epidemiology and bacteriology as well as pharmacotherapy of this uncommon entity are discussed.
