BACKGROUND Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) in children is a chronic non-suppurative inflammation involving multiple sites. Some children affected by chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) do not have multiple lesions or a recurrent course. OBJECTIVE To characterise the long term outcome of children with the full spectrum of CNO. METHODS 30 children diagnosed with CNO we...

Introduction Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by nonbacterial inflammatory bone lesions. The bone lesions can be unifocal or multifocal, and have an either uniphasic or recurrent course. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and Glucocorticoid have been reported to be effective in some cases, and more recen...

Background Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare childhood disease presenting with bone pain, fever and multifocal osteolytic bone lesions. CRMO is considered an autoinflammatory disease but its aetiology and pathogenesis are still unknown. Autoinflammatory diseases are usually characterized by abnormalities in the regulation of inflammasomes, macromolecular complexes invo...

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a diagnosis of exclusion primarily in children and adolescents. As part of the essential criteria for the diagnosis of CRMO, multifocal lesions must be identified. We present the case of an 11-year-old boy with CRMO, whose diagnosis was facilitated by the use of whole body magnetic resonance imaging (WBMR), but not isotope bone scanning.

BACKGROUND Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare condition of largely unknown aetiology and pathogenesis with variable clinical and radiological features. There are no reports on CRMO to the best of our knowledge; in the West African sub region. OBJECTIVE To present a case and review the literature on chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis. METHODS A 13-year-old ma...

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a non-infectious, inflammatory disorder of the bones. CRMO typically affects children, with predisposition to females. Bone-related pain often felt in metaphysis long bones, particularly lower extremities, but it can also target other sites at varied time intervals. Patients are likely complain tenderness and swelling that may cause considera...
