A rare case of primary tuberculous osteomyelitis of skull vault
Abstract:
In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in number of reports involving uncommon sites involving in tuberculosis. Rise in number of HIV positive patients has made the scenario worse. Calvarial tuberculosis has beenreported very rarely in world literature till now. We are reporting a case of primary tuberculous osteomyelitis of frontal bone in a 15-year-old female.
