Introduction. At first sight, chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) and Schnitzler's disease are diagnoses of exclusion and can be similar in their manifestation. Methods. In this paper we present the reevaluation of the 13-year-old diagnosis of chronic recurrent osteomyelitis of a 58-year-old man with chronic ostealgia, night sweat, and pruritic urticarial lesions on the extremitie...

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an inflammatory bone disease usually affecting children. A 9-year old boy presented with recurrent lower extremities pain and discomfort lasting for two years. In every time, symptoms vanished after several weeks. The patient received antibiotics only in one period of bone pain. In other occasions the patient didn’t received any antibiotics. ...

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 without an...

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is characterised by an insidious onset of fever, local swelling and pain in affected bones, and radiological abnormalities suggestive of osteomyelitis. The histopathological features in 14 patients are described. Morphologically CRMO begins as an acute inflammatory process with a predominance of polymorphonuclear leucocytes, which occasionally f...

Introduction We report a severe case of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) associated with total myeloperoxidase (MPO) deficiency. The etiology of CRMO is in most cases unknown, and this is to our knowledge the first case associated with MPO-deficiency. Leukocyte MPO-deficiency renders neutrophils unable to process superoxide to secondary reactive oxygen species (ROS). Partial MP...

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...

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an autoinflammatory bone disorder that generally occurs in children and predominantly affects the long bones with marginal sclerosis. We herein report two cases of adult-onset CRMO involving the tibial diaphysis bilaterally, accompanied by polyarthritis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed both tibial osteomyelitis and high intensity of t...

Introduction Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a non – infectious inflammatory bone disorder of yet to be determined etiopatology. However, it is considered that the imbalance between proand antiinflammatory cytokines plays the main role in the disease expression. CRMO represents the most severe form of chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis and predominantly affects children and...

BACKGROUND Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an idiopathic inflammatory disease. The initial lesions are typically found in the metaphyses, generally without periosteal reaction. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a 14-year-old female teenager with relapsing and remitting right iliac pain. There was no evidence of infectious organisms, neoplastic processes, or hematolog...
