Abstract :
Although mycobacterium tuberculosis is a widespread disease, miliary tuberculosis especially tuberculomas is a rare pathological condition. The diagnosis of miliary tuberculosis and the involvement of other systems by tuberculosis are difficult. We reported two cases with having respiratory and high intracranial pressure symptoms. They diagnosed as mycobacterium tuberculosis associated with brain tuberculomas, and abscess formation developed as a complication of tuberculomas in one of the patients. The development of abscess formation was the cause of convulsion. The cases were presented due to presence of different clinical and radiological findings on tuberculous disease
