Abstract

Cavernous sinus involvement of tuberculosis is rare. We present a 65-year-old woman with extrapulmonary tuberculosis who presented with a cavernous sinus syndrome clinically. A cervical lymph node biopsy revealed non-caseating granulomas but cultures were eventually positive for M. tuberculosis.
