Abstract
AbstractTuberculosis is rapidly reemerging as a major health problem due to rising incidence of HIV cases across the globe. Central nervous system involvement is rare, but rarely multiple intracerebral granulomas can occur or occasional solitary tuberculoma also develops. The authors report a unique case of 24-year-old woman suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis developed headache and vomiting. Cranial CT scan revealed multiple widespread deposit of intracranial granuloma of sizeable lesion mimicking starry sky at night appearance. Excision of one tuberculoma was done for confirmation of definitive diagnosis, and histopathology was suggestive of tuberculoma. The patient also underwent VP shunt surgery. At last follow-up at 15 years following surgery, she was doing well.

Abstract
Background The outcome of acquired brain injury (ABI) depends largely on the nature and severity of injury, appropriate treatment, and rehabilitation that plays a vital role in recovery.
Materials and Methods A total of 18 patients after ABI, aged 18 to 50 years, were assessed pre- and post-neuropsychological rehabilitation (NR) on various psychosocial functions. The patient-specific NR included an eclectic approach using cognitive retraining for memory, attention and concentration, executive functioning, perceptuomotor speed, motor dexterity, basic functional skill training, cognitive behavior therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, relearning, relaxation therapy, assertiveness training, anger management, and vocational and individual counseling following a neuropsychosocial perspective.
Results The post-rehabilitation assessment revealed improvements of statistical and clinical significance in the score of on dysfunction analysis (t = 7.10) that was significant at 0.001 level. Significant improvements were found in each of the areas: social, vocational, personal, family, and cognitive as compared with pre-rehabilitation as described by the patient.
Discussion and Conclusion Eclectic approach to NR was successful in decreasing the overall dysfunction of the patients despite the severity of injury or the time elapsed after injury. Several therapeutic approaches have been used to assist individuals after brain injury, but more outcome studies are still needed to dictate which therapy works best, or if using an eclectic therapy is the key. The challenge is to make the therapy as person centered and individualistic as possible, depending on the individual needs as there is no “gold standard” for treatment for various issues arising following brain injury.
