Abstract:
Tuberculosis is a common issue in endemic regions. The disease can affect both adults and children. Tuberculosis involving the flat bones of the skull is infrequently reported. Besides, reports of parietal bone tuberculosis in children are rare and a diagnostic challenge. Often, these cases report late, and this could compromise the treatment outcomes. Herein, a case of post-traumatic tuberculosis of the left parietal bone is presented in a child. The diagnosis was achieved by radiometric investigations and the isolation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from the pus. He was initiated on antituberculous chemotherapy.
