    La tuberculosis craneal es una entidad rara, que inicia con una infecci贸n de la m茅dula espinal y se extiende a las placas externas e internas del cr谩neo, provocando la destrucci贸n del hueso y la formaci贸n de tejido de granulaci贸n causando una colecci贸n de secreci贸n purulenta, edema y dolor en la zona afectada. El diagnostico requiere la demostraci贸n de los bacilos 谩cido-resistentes en el frotis de la muestra mediante la tinci贸n de Ziehl-Neelsen y la presencia de un granuloma caseoso histopatol贸gico. El tratamiento puede ser m茅dico o quir煤rgico dependiendo la complejidad de la patolog铆a. Se reporta el caso de un paciente masculino de 45 a帽os, quien acude por presentar herida abierta en la regi贸n parietal izquierda, causado por antecedente de craneotom铆a debido a trauma craneoencef谩lico hace 6 a帽os, en el cultivo de la lesi贸n descrita se report贸 positivo para bacilos acido-resistentes, recibiendo el paciente terapia antituberculosa con buena respuesta cl铆nica. Este es un caso inusual que se reporta para conocimiento y definir conductas diagn贸sticas y terap茅uticas ante una presentaci贸n at铆pica de tuberculosis extrapulmonar.Cranial tuberculosis is a rare entity, which starts with an infection of the spinal cord and spreads to the external and internal plates of the skull, causing destruction of the bone and the formation of granulation tissue causing a collection of purulent discharge, edema and pain in the affected area. Diagnosis requires the demonstration of acid-fast bacilli in the smear specimen by Ziehl-Neelsen staining and the presence of a histopathological caseous granuloma. Treatment may be medical or surgical depending on the complexity of the pathology. We report the case of a 45-year-old male patient, who presented with an open wound in the left parietal region, caused by a history of craniotomy due to cranioencephalic trauma 6 years ago. The culture of the lesion described was positive for acid-fast bacilli, and the patient received antituberculosis therapy with good clinical response. This is an unusual case that is reported for knowledge and to define diagnostic and therapeutic conducts before an atypical presentation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis
