None of these lesions show restricted diffusion. There are large lesions which are not-enhancing, hypointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2/FLAIR, which show restricted diffusion in both corona radiata and the posterior limb of the left internal capsule. Incidental empty sella. In view of positive AAFB (acid alcohol fast bacilli) on lumbar puncture: Multiple tuberculomas in the posterior fossa, brainstem and inferomedial left temporal lobe.
