“…Tubercular involvement of orbital bones is a rare entity that is usually seen secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis, although, primary involvement of these bones has been reported in the past (Sethi et al, 2006). Tubercular osteomyelitis is more commonly seen in children and young adults, as in our patient.…”

“…Tubercular osteomyelitis is more commonly seen in children and young adults, as in our patient. The clinical presentation is usually in the form of a swelling or a sinus in the periorbital region with or without involvement of the intra-orbital contents (Sethi et al, 2006;Sharma et al, 2006).…”

We present the case report of a 10-year-old girl who presented to us with a painless swelling involving the left infraorbital region. The swelling was diagnosed to be tubercular in origin with erosion of the zygomatic, maxillary and frontal bones constituting the inferior and lateral walls of the left orbit. The patient responded well to antitubercular chemotherapy. A discussion of the case and a literature review of causes of orbital erosion is presented.

“…Most of these cases are due to tuberculosis and fungal causes (candidiasis, cryptococcus and aspergillosis). The majority of tuberculous cases of zygomatic osteomyelitis are due to hematologic spread of pulmonary tuberculosis by seeding of bacilli or by direct spread from neighboring structures [ 7 ]. There have been rare cases reported caused due to trauma and also idiopathic osteomyelitis of zygoma.…”

Aim To highlight the incidence of osteomyelitis due to CAM and to elucidate the mode of spread of infection from maxilla to zygomatic bone, to highlight how that is distinct from other cases of zygomatic osteomyelitis due to other etiologies. Methods A standard protocol of treatment of the cases of CAM with zygomatic involvement based on our own outcomes was furnished. All 10 patients were treated with dual antifungal therapy and aggressive surgical resection via extraoral approach, in conjunction with functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Results Ten out of 116 patients of CAM reporting to our institute presented with zygomatic bone involvement with an incidence rate averaging at 8.6%, whereas in previous literature osteomyelitis of zygomatic bone was extremely rare with an incidence pattern of just 1.42%. Conclusions The treatment protocol followed by the authors gave good outcomes to all patients treated, with no mortalities.

Fronto‐temporal swelling: case report of an unusual presentation of primary, extra‐pulmonary tuberculous infection

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by slow growing, acid fast, aerobic mycobacterium and has become the leading cause of death from a single infectious disease. Primary extra‐pulmonary TB lesions may arise as swellings in the head and neck, and can pose challenges of diagnosis and management to healthcare professionals. We present an unusual case of primary extra‐pulmonary TB manifesting as a fluctuant swelling of the fronto‐temporal region of the head and discuss value of special tests, such as fine needle aspiration cytology, microbiology and histopathology, with reference to previous case reports of TB in the head and neck.
