osteomyelitis is an inflammatory infectious condition of bones, occurring either acutely or chronically. the clinical course of the disease leads to destructive or sclerosing patterns of the involved bone. this report presents a case of chronic focal sclerosing osteomyelitis in a 19-year-old male with a history of an uncontrolled convulsive condition. the lesion was first diagnosed as an osteob...

The clinical course of the disease leads to destructive or sclerosing patterns of the involved bone. This report presents a case of chronic focal sclerosing osteomyelitis in a 19-year-old male with a history of an uncontrolled convulsive condition. The lesion was first diagnosed as an osteobl...

In 1893 Ganr#{233} described a sclerosing form of osteomyelitis that caused distension and thickening of bone, but no suppuration, sequestration or fistula formation. Hardmeier, Uehlingen and Muggli (1974) introduced the term primary chronic sclenosing osteomyelitis to differentiate the clinical presentation of chronic osteomyelitis from the clinical description given by Garr#{233} ; they also ...

RATIONALE Sclerosing osteomyelitis of Garré is a rare condition that occurs most commonly in tubular bones and the mandible. Its nontypical symptoms, low morbidity, and insidious process make its diagnosis difficult at an early stage. In this article, we reported a case of chronic sclerosing osteomyelitis which occurred in flat bone. PATIENT CONCERNS A 53-year-old man was diagnosed with rib s...

Garre’s sclerosing osteomyelitis is a specific type of chronic osteomyelitis that mainly affects children and young adults. This disease is commonly associated with an odontogenic infection resulting from dental caries. This article describes a case report of 14 year old boy with Garre’s osteomyelitis of mandible caused by infection of lower left first molar. The case was managed by nonsurgical...

Objective: To explore whether individual choice treatment is a feasible choice in the treatment of different types of chronic osteomyelitis with different causes and history as well as the differences in local soft tissue conditions. Methods: Seventy-three cases of different types of chronic osteomyelitis were included in the study. According to the classification of causes: 21 cases were blood...

In prolonged chronic osteomyelitis, chronic inflammation and low-grade infections can result in new periosteal bone formation. Chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis (traditionally termed Garré's sclerosing osteomyelitis) mainly affects children and young adults. Here, we present two rare cases of an 11-year-old and a 12-year-old patient with suppurative chronic osteomyelitis with...

Garre’s sclerosing osteomyelitis is a kind of chronic osteomyelitis that is mainly seen in children and adolescents. It was formerly documented only in long bones, particularly tibia. Proliferative osteomyelitis of the jaw was described only in the late 1970s. Since then, this clinical entity is well illustrated in dental literature and is frequently linked with an odontogenic infection, mainly...
