Hello,
TB meningitis can occur but there is no definitive time that's being allocated as to when you should repeat MRI. MRI is done at the end of treatment, to look at the improvement from medicine. This can be repeated if at all she gets symptoms at a later stage.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
