PEREZ ALVAREZ, MJ e MORENO LOPEZ, M. Tuberculous meningitis. One case: ophthalmic complications. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2004, vol.79, n.11, pp.549-552. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case Report: An 18 year old female suffering from tuberculous meningitis with bilateral amaurosis, ophthalmoplegia, other cranial nerve palsies and loss of consciousness, is presented. Discussion: Tuberculous meningitis is a rare cause of basal arachnoiditis with a bad prognosis. Possible causes of visual acuity loss and ophthalmoplegia are discussed and a favourable outcome without sequelae is noteworthy in our case.
Palavras-chave : Tuberculous meningitis; amaurosis and ophthalmoplegia.
