Tuberculosis of the skull vault: a case report.
We describe a 3-year-old boy who had fluctuating swellings of the head and an infra-orbital sinus which were due to tuberculous osteitis. On radiological examination, the lesions may be found to be multifocal, and usually appear to be circumscribed and lytic. Definitive diagnosis depends, however, on bone biopsy.
