Abstract:
A patient of tuberculous osteomyelitis of the bone flap following craniotomy for acute subdural hemorrhage which was treated at Surat Municipal Institute of Medical Education & Research (SMIMER) from June 2010 has been reported. This report emphasizes the fact that while treating osteomyelitis of bone flap following craniotomy, possibility of tuberculosis should be considered, especially in our country. Treatment wise, the disease responded readily to routine anti-tubercular chemotherapy.
