- Abstract
The majority of intracranial infections that cause meningitis are considered to start in the choroid plexus of the ventricles, but lesions involving the choroid plexus are rare. There are isolated case reports of the involvement of choroid plexus in tuberculous meningitis. The main imaging findings are abnormal enhancement of the thickened choroid plexus, asymmetric hydrocephalus with sequestrated temporal horn, periventricular edema and intraventricular septae formation. Six patients having tubercular involvement of choroid plexus were treated at our institution. This is probably the largest series of tubercular involvement of choroid plexus highlighting the imaging features of this rare manifestation of CNS tuberculosis.
