Hello,
Your mother has been diagnosed as cerebral tuberculosis. The treatment regimen ranges from 18 to 24 months. After this treatment there will be no drug given to your mom. Just keep an eye on her walking or balance abilities. If that deteriorates at some time in her life. Think of complications of this disease first.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
