case_images: Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with and without contrast demonstrated leptomeningeal enhancement, particularly in the basal cisterns, raising suspicion for TB meningitis, particularly in light of a travel history to Mexico and the outside hospital CSF studies [Figure 1].
case_images: Endoscopic views of the (a) third ventricular floor with created stoma. (b) Prepontine cistern with basilar artery visualized at the bottom of the image. Arrows pointing to tubercles studding the (a) pre-mammillary area (b) prepontine cistern amidst thickened arachnoid membranes.

case_images: When entering the third ventricle during performance of the ETV, small beige-colored raised nodules measuring up to 1 mm in diameter were observed lining the walls of the third ventricle [Figure 2].
