Headache, Nausea, Blurred Vision, Short Term Memory Loss Due To Brain Lesion. What To Do Next?

Hi doctor, my sister has leison in the brain, they found 2 ring like leison in the left frontal lobe. She had a seizure few days back with severe headache, nausea, blurred vision and short term memory loss. she still has nausea, headache, and she is very weak. Initially the doctors thought that it was brain tb but the skin tb test came negative. The process is taking time and i am very worried for her and yes after mri the technicians said that it is brain tb but the doctor has not confirmed anything yet. She has a 5month old baby, please tell me what should we do next. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Though brain TB is one of the possible causes of ring enhancing lesions in brain, other common causes include neurocysticercosis. I suggest you discuss the case in detail with a neurologist before any treatment is started. TB treatment often takes a year and must be started only after confirmation. For seizures, she must continue anti seizure medications.

Hope this helps
