Hello,
Tuberculosis is a curable disease but in the brain, if the neurons are damaged, and the death of the neurons cannot produce new neurons and that will be filled up with supportive tissues.
So, take a proper course, and it will go away.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
