Presence of central nervous system by extrapulmonary tuberculosis is an infrequent disease specially among non HIV infected patients, and it is associated with poor prognosis and high mortality rates. We report a case with a middle cerebral artery ischemic strocke as a first symptom of miliar tuberculosis.
