Seven cases of intracranial tuberculoma diagnosed in northern Turkey o ver a 2-year period are presented, with emphasis on the CT and clinica l findings. CT alone cannot differentiate tuberculoma from an abscess or other granulamatous processes, but it is still one of the most sens itive techniques for detecting tuberculomas. It provides information o n the nature of the lesion and the number of loci.
