Abstract
Osteoarticular localization is rare and dominated by spinal disease. The talus localization of tuberculosis is rarely described in the literature; it can be secondary of direct inoculation or results from hematogenous dissemination, most of the time from lung tuberculosis. Its diagnosis is difficult; the imaging is very suggestive, but the confirmation is bacteriological and/or histological. The prognosis depends on a rapid diagnosis and the precocity of the treatment which is essentially medical.
