N2  - Tuberculosis (TB) is a widespread infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium Tubercle Bacilli. In 15-20 % of cases of  active  pulmonary  TB, the infection  spreads  to  extrapulmonary  foci,  including  nervous  system  complications. Ischemic  stroke-related  tuberculosis  without  meningitis  is  rare.  We  report  a  74-year-old  female  presented  with rapid  onset  confusion,  unconsciousness,  and  left  hemiparesis.  She  had  been  recently  diagnosed  with  active  TB  3 months ago and treated with a combination anti-tuberculosis regimen. Her recent acute neurological manifestations began  within  24  hours  prior  to  admission tothe  hospital.  The  brain  CT  showed  middle  cerebral  artery  territory infarction. The risk factors tracing found no significant abnormality. The only abnormal findingwas high CRP. This report describes a rare case of a patient with active TB who presented with acute ischemic stroke.
