Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis. A narrative and pictorial review

Abstract: Chronic recurrent and multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a nonsporadic autoinflammatory disorder. Currently, it is diagnosed based on clinical, radiologic, pathological, and longitudinal data. Numerous aspects should be highlighted due to increased knowledge in imaging and immunology. We emphasize the use of whole-body MRI, which is a non-invasive diagnostic strategy. A literature review was carried out on longitudinal studies. Commonly, the mean age at diagnosis is 11 years, ranging between 3 and 17. The most… Show more

“…3) [10]. For the exclusion or detection of a multifocal manifestation, whole-body MRI has largely replaced bone scintigraphy, due to its higher specificity and lack of radiation exposure, especially in children and adolescents [12], and thus represents the method of choice [8,11,12].…”

“…Furthermore, imaging studies also have limitations in diagnosing chronic osteomyelitisis. While DR examination can be performed in patients with acute infection symptoms, features like xation aseptic loosening, focal osteoporosis, and cortical thinning lack speci city during the subacute or chronic stages of infection [9]. Although CT is more useful than DR in this regard, its application is limited due to poor result sipeci city and increased artifacts caused by metal xators commonly present in patients with chronic osteomyelitisis.…”
