Description
Sekai Tsujimoto, Koji Hayashi and their co-authors report a rare case of nerve damage during treatment for tuberculous meningitis in 2025. Their patient was a healthy young man whose spinal fluid tests confirmed the disease and who first did well on drug treatment.
Weeks later he came back with vertigo and loss of hearing in one ear. Scans showed new swelling of the lining near the brainstem and of the nerve for balance and hearing. The team read this as a paradoxical reaction, a flare that can follow the start of therapy. Steroid treatment eased his symptoms within two days, and the case gives clear scan proof of this spread.
