Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health concern, with skeletal TB representing a small fraction of total cases. Foot involvement is relatively uncommon in skeletal TB, and infections of the cuboid bone are especially rare. This case report describes an 18-year-old male who presented with pain and swelling in the dorsolateral left midfoot. A CT-guided biopsy and histopathological examination confirmed necrotizing granulomatous inflammation due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The patient was treated with a six-month course of anti-tubercular therapy (ATT) and strict non-weight-bearing protocols, leading to significant symptom improvement. This report emphasizes the importance of histopathological confirmation in diagnosing rare forms of TB and supports existing treatment protocols.

Persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) is the most common residual manifestation of persistent carotid-vertebrobasilar anastomosis, with the medial-type (intrasellar or sphenoidal) PTA being exceptionally rare. Aneurysms originating from the PTA trunk are not common. We present a unique case of an aneurysm located at the trunk of the medial-type PTA in a patient presenting with trigeminal neuralgia who successfully received endovascular treatment.
