INTRODUCTION In the absence of other intracranial tuberculomas or systemic manifestation of tuberculosis isolated brainstem tuberculoma is a rare entity,that accounts for 6%of all brain stem masses in endemic areas. The occurrence of these lesions is further rarer in the immunocompetent adults.We discuss the findings of ring enhancing lesion of the brain stem where based on imaging findings we treated empirically with anti-tuberculous therapy with excellent outcome.
