Cranial tuberculosis is a rare condition, constituting 0.2 to 1.3% of bone tuberculosis cases, mainly affecting the frontal and parietal bones. It is often misdiagnosed. A case involved a two-year-old girl, F.R., who developed ulcerations on her scalp due to multifocal tuberculosis. Imaging revealed a hypoechoic collection and mixed lesions in the parietal area, leading to a confirmed diagnosis. Common symptoms in children include painless scalp swelling and sinus discharge. Imaging, particularly CT and MRI, is critical for diagnosis and treatment planning. Early detection is essential for effective management.
