Abstract
Sphenoidal erosions due to tuberculosis are reported in 4 young children. The lytic destruction emphasized for reference texts indicates that tuberculosis produces a sclerotic reaction when extending to the skull base. Tuberculous osteitis of the skull occurs particularly in colored children and adolescents. It should be considered when destructive skull lesions are seen in these patients.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
