Osteomyelitis of the skull is an uncommon disease in the present days, mainly due to the advent of modern and more effective antibiotics. Hematogenous osteomyelitis is very rare. Osteomyelitis of the skull is usually not associated with sclerosis which is commonly seen in the rest of the skeleton. There are only few occasional case reports of condensing osteomyelitis wherein there was sclerosis of the bone associated with osteomyelitis of the skull and epidural abscess. An unusual case of diffuse condensing osteomyelitis of the skull producing unilateral proptosis is reported. The clinical, radiological features and microbiological aspects are presented. The proptosis was treated by excision of the bone behind the eyeball and thus relieving the proptosis and the impaired vision. The patient was given broad spectrum antibiotics for a period of two months. Further management problems are discussed.
