Abstract
We report a clinical and anatomical case illustrating the association of progressive pulmonary tuberculosis and immunological rhombencephali tis. The clinical presentation included infectious symptoms and variou s neurological signs. The diagnosis of double tuberculosis localizatio n was discussed. After death, the neuropathological examination establ ished that rhombencephalitis was related to an isolated angiitis of th e central nervous system.
