Whole-Body MRI versus bone scintigraphy: which is the best diagnostic tool in patients with chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO)?
Introduction Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an autoinflammatory bone disorder of unknown etiology with a wide range of clinical manifestations. Since CRMO is a systemic disorder that can affect multiple skeletal sites, whole-body imaging techniques (whole body bone scintigraphy -WBBSor whole body magnetic risonance -WBMRI-) provide major contribution to the initial diagnos...
متن کاملBone scintigraphy in diagnosing chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis
A 10-year-old boy was referred to us for evaluation of FUO accompanied with bone pain in both calves. Three hours after intravenous injection of 13 mCi of 99mTc-MDP, whole body scan in multiple spot views was performed. The scan showed symmetrical areas of diffusely increased tracer uptake in multiple long bones. Histopathologic evaluation confirmed osteosclrosis and fibrotic changes...
متن کاملChronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO): typical patterns of bone involvement on MRI with particular emphasis on Whole Body MRI (WBMRI)
Introduction Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an autoinflammatory bone disorder of unknown ethiology. The clinical manifestations of CRMO are highly variable. One to 20 sites can be affected at one time. Since CNO is a systemic disorder that can affect multiple skeletal sites, whole-body imaging techniques (Tc-99 bone scintigraphy or MRI) provide major contribution to the in...

متن کاملChronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) – advancing the diagnosis
BACKGROUND Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a little known inflammatory bone disease occurring primarily in children and adolescents. Delays in referral and diagnosis may lead to prolonged courses of antibiotics with in-patient care, unnecessary radiation exposure from multiple plain radiographs or bone scans and repeated surgery including bone biopsies. Children (aged < 18 ...
