Intracranial tuberculomas are less common lesions; sellar, suprasellar, or parasellar involvement is further rarer with only few case reports in the literature. We describe a case of 44-year-old female, discussing the imaging findings that were managed successfully for tubercular hypothalamic-pituitary abscesses.

Key-words:

Abscess - hypothalamic abscess - magnetic resonance imaging - sellar - tubercular abscess - tuberculoma - tuberculosis
