Calvarial tuberculosis, though rare, requires a high suspicion for early diagnosis. Awareness and diagnostic tools like fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) can help avoid surgery in some cases.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Skeletal Tuberculosis
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Calvarial tuberculosis is an uncommon manifestation of tuberculosis, even in endemic regions.
  • Primary calvarial tuberculosis, without systemic involvement, is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • This study presents seven cases of calvarial tuberculosis.
  • Clinicoradiological features and management strategies were analyzed.
  • Diagnosis was achieved through fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and biopsy, with two cases diagnosed post-surgery.

Findings:

  • Early diagnosis of calvarial tuberculosis is challenging.
  • Diagnostic methods include imaging, FNAC, and biopsy.
  • Surgical intervention is not always necessary for treatment.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness can improve early diagnosis rates for calvarial tuberculosis.
  • Antitubercular therapy may suffice for selected cases, potentially avoiding surgery.
  • Further research into non-invasive diagnostic markers is warranted.
