The computed tomography and magnetic resonanc e features of parenchymal tuberculoma, tuberculous meningitis and meni ngeal/meniningocerebral tuberculoma are illustrated. Recent insight in to the nature of tuberculoma necrosis and its magnetic resonance corre lation is reviewed. Pathogenesis, relevant clinical background and the role of modern imaging is discussed.
