  ABSTRACT: Tuberculoma is a common condition in developing countries. In some cases, it may mimic a glial lesion, making differential diagnosis challenging. The authors report two cases of giant tuberculoma in young patients aged 14 and 16. A literature review was conducted on these cases. Both patients underwent partial excision. Histology concluded tuberculoma. Anti-tubercular treatment was implemented. The evolution one year later was marked by the persistence of neurological disorders, although they had improved.
