Abstract
We are reporting an unusual case of a 26-year-old immunocompetent patient of miliary tuberculosis of cerebellum with meningitis and lung involvement, presenting with ataxia without any evidence of systemic inflammation. Since, prognosis depends on correct diagnosis and timely treatment, recognition and prompt diagnosis are important for overall outcome.
