We describe a patient with multiple intracranial tuberculomas resistant to standard care with antituberculosis drugs and corticosteroids who responded well to thalidomide. Adjunctive thalidomide may have a role in the management of refractory intracranial tuberculomas, although it should be used conservatively owing to its potential adverse events.
