Vertebral osteomyelitis is a type of osteomyelitis (infection and inflammation of the bone and bone marrow) that affects the vertebrae. It is a rare bone infection concentrated in the vertebral column. [2] Cases of vertebral osteomyelitis are so rare that they constitute only 2%-4% of all bone infections. [3]
A Brodie abscess is a subacute osteomyelitis, appearing as an accumulation of pus in bone, frequently with an insidious onset. [1] Brodie's abscess is characterized by pain and swelling without fever, often resulting from diabetic wounds, fracture-related bone infection, or haematogenous osteomyelitis.
Meningococcal myelitis (or meningomyelitis): lesions occurring in the region of meninges and the spinal cord; Osteomyelitis of the vertebral bone surrounding the spinal cord (that is, vertebral osteomyelitis) is a separate condition, although some infections (for example, Staphylococcus aureus infection) can
In osteomyelitis involving the vertebral bodies, about half the cases are due to S. aureus, and the other half are due to tuberculosis (spread hematogenously from the lungs). Tubercular osteomyelitis of the spine was so common before the initiation of effective antitubercular therapy, it acquired a special name, Pott's disease. [citation needed]
Osteomyelitis, or infectious osteitis, mainly bacterial osteitis [1] Alveolar osteitis or "dry socket" [2] Condensing osteitis (or Osteitis condensans) Osteitis deformans (or Paget's disease of bone) [3] Osteitis fibrosa cystica (or Osteitis fibrosa, or Von Recklinghausen's disease of bone) Osteitis pubis; Radiation osteitis Osteitis condensans ...
DISH has no indication of a genetic link, is primarily thoracic and does not affect organs other than the lungs, and only indirectly due to the fusion of the rib cage. [10] Long-term treatment of acne with vitamin derived retinoids, such as etretinate [11] and acitretin, [12] have been associated with extraspinal hyperostosis.
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare condition (1:1,000,000), in which the bones have lesions, inflammation, and pain. It is called multifocal because it can appear in different parts of the body, primarily bones, and osteomyelitis because it is very similar to that disease, although CRMO appears to be without any infection .
