摘要
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis is still a significant public health problem and can have protean manifestations posing diagnostic problems. We are reporting a case of multifocal TB osteomyelitis, which is a rare entity. The purpose of this report is to review the epidemiology, pathophysiology and diagnosis of calvarial tuberculosis. A one and a half year old female child presented as orbital cellulitis with post-traumatic cephalo-haematoma. Investigations revealed osteitis of right parietal bone and left superior orbital wall on CECT brain. Though histopathology of the aspirates was negative for tuberculosis, CBNAAT helped in confirming the diagnosis enabling prompt therapy.
