Select and explain. 
A. Exudate's seen in basal cistern, B. Noncommunicating hydrocephaluos, C. Calcification most commonly seen in insula umbellium, D. Ventriculitis is a common finding
A: Exudate's seen in basal cistern
Answer: A: Exudate's seen in basal cistern 
Explanation: In Tubercular Meningitis basal cisterns are most frequently affected, although often syln cisterns and other subarachnoid spaces may be involved. The Basal Cisterns are obscured by presence of inflammatory tissue exudate. Hydrocephalus is communicating and is usually present, i.e. it does not improve even if Anti tubercular treatment (ATT) is given. Calcification is commonly seen in the meninges at the base of the brain. Ventriculitis may be seen, but it is not common.
