Abstract

Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis of the skull is a rare entity that should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of lacunar lesions of the skull. Here, we present four challenging cases of non-infectious inflammatory lytic lesions of the neurocranium with a diagnostic delay of one to five years.
