    <abstract locale="en_US">Myocarditis is a rare manifestation of tuberculosis, often associated with high morbidity and mortality. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a critical imaging tool for assessing infiltrative myocardial conditions. We describe the case of an adult patient from a tuberculosis-endemic region who presented with sudden-onset symptomatic arrhythmias. Cardiac MRI findings included heterogeneous signal intensity in the left ventricular myocardium, altered myocardial nulling time, and a patchy &#x201C;zebroid-like&#x201D; pattern of late gadolinium enhancement. Additionally, necrotic supraclavicular and retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy were observed. Fine-needle aspiration cytology of the affected lymph node revealed epithelioid inflammatory granulomas. The patient was diagnosed with disseminated tuberculosis and tubercular myocarditis. Following the initiation of a standard anti-tubercular regimen, significant clinical improvement was noted at the 2-month follow-up.</abstract>
