A lot of comorbidities exist in patients with dependence on alcohol, psychoactive, or other substances. Many times, their comorbidities go undiagnosed or neglected due to the stigma prevalent with dependence. A 22-year-old person with alcohol dependence who was detected to have a parietal lobe space-occupying lesion which proved to be a tuberculoma is reported.
