A 7-year-old boy presented with fever and headache for 1 month, projectile vomiting for 15 days, and altered sensorium for 1 day.
MRI brain showed obstructive lateral ventricle hydrocephalus with heterogeneously enhancing periventricular masses involving the temporal lobes and right occipital lobe, along with vasogenic edema and leptomeningeal enhancement.
The differential diagnosis included tuberculoma vs neoplasm, but the child was too unstable for lumbar puncture or biopsy.
