Osteomyelitis is an infective process that encompasses all of the bone (osseous) components, including the bone marrow. When it is chronic, it can lead to bone sclerosis and deformity. [citation needed] Chronic osteomyelitis may be due to the presence of intracellular bacteria. [19]
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.
An entity initially known as chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis was first described in 1972. [1] Subsequently, in 1978, [2] several cases of were associated with blisters on the palms and soles (palmoplantar pustulosis).
Examples of periosteal reactive bone in selected specimens of Triceratops. A periosteal reaction can result from a large number of causes, including injury and chronic irritation due to a medical condition such as hypertrophic osteopathy, bone healing in response to fracture, chronic stress injuries, subperiosteal hematomas, osteomyelitis, and cancer of the bone.
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 ...
Condensing osteitis, also known as focal sclerosing osteomyelitis, is a rare periapical inflammatory condition characterized by the formation of sclerotic bone near the roots of premolars and molars. This condition arises as a response to dental infections, such as periapical pulp inflammation or low-intensity trauma.
It is a complication (sequela) of osteomyelitis. The pathological process is as follows: infection in the bone leads to an increase in intramedullary pressure due to inflammatory exudates; the periosteum becomes stripped from the ostium, leading to vascular thrombosis; bone necrosis follows due to lack of blood supply; sequestra are formed
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.
