Abstract
We report a 4 year old girl with ring enhancing lesions in brain CT, initially
diagnosed as neurocysticercosis but did not respond to cysticidal therapy. A
Magnetic resonance spectropscopy (MRS) revealed lipid peaks suggestive of
tuberculoma which was successfully treated with antituberculosis therapy. This
report highlights the role of MRS in the diagnosis of ring enhancing lesios.
