Intracranial tuberculoma is a rare and serious type of tuberculosis, which mostly occurs in the frontoparietal and cerebellar hemispheres, with predominance in the gray-white matter junction area, while tuberculomas only in the cistern are extremely rare with only a few reported cases in the literature. We describe a unique case of isolated tuberculoma in the suprasellar cistern, with only right ocular motility disorder and upper eyelid ptosis.
