In adults it may occur as an isolated form of tuberculosis or in association with another form of the disease, especially pulmonary or miliary.&nbsp; The infection is fatal within 1 to 8 weeks if untreated and carries a high risk of severe sequele if treatment is delayed. <strong>Subjects and Methods: </strong>All patients included in the study had a computed tomography head scan and were evaluated according to the attached protocol. Every patient selected underwent a complete neurological evaluation which consisted of a history and physical examination with special reference to the neurological findings. Fundoscopy, CSF examination, Chest and Skull X-ray, E.E.G etc.., were done whenever needed. <strong>Results: </strong>The most consistent neurological findings were isolated or multiple cranial nerve palsies, motor&nbsp; deficits, papilloedema, sign of meningeal irritation and altered conscious states. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>All the above were more common in patients with tuberculous meningitis.</p&gt;}, number={4}, journal={Asian Journal of Medical Research}, author={Thomas, Kenny}, year={2019}, month={Jan.}, pages={ME01-ME05} }
