Skull involvement is a rare occurrence which mainly affects children with chronic inflammatory diseases of paranasal sinusitis, or malignant otitis. In adults, cranial vault osteomyelitis can occur after cranial surgery or head trauma.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st2\">\n<jats:title>Case Description:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>We describe an unusual case of chronic cranial osteomyelitis occurred 3 months following a mild traumatic brain injury.
