D. The diagnosis is tuberculous meningitis with foci of caseating necrosis (Your Answer)
Feedback:
CORRECT! The gross picture shows inflammatory exudates in the subarachnoid space, as well as several foci of caseous necrosis over the cerebellar hemispheres. Microscopy shows necrotizing granulomatous inflammation. A ZN stain should be done to look for acid=fast bacilli.
