[Sacral tuberculous osteitis].
The authors report a case of a 5 year old child suffering from isolated sacral tuberculosis which presented as sudden and total loss of function of the left leg. The rarity of this bony site, and the recurrence at nine months of a presacral abscess after 9 months of anti-tuberculous treatment in an HIV negative child, vaccinated with BCG, justify the presentation of this observation.
