Imaging of Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis
Abstract
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an autoinflammatory disorder of children and young adults that is characterized by nonbacterial osteomyelitis. Patients typically present with multifocal bone pain secondary to sterile osseous inflammation, and the disease has a relapsing and remitting course. The cause of CRMO remains unclear, although the results of several studies have suggested a genetic component. The typical imaging findings of CRMO include lytic and sclerotic lesions in the metaphyses of long bones and the medial clavicles. Other common sites of disease are the vertebral bodies, pelvis, ribs, and mandible. CRMO is often bilateral and multifocal at presentation. Owing to the lack of a diagnostic test, CRMO remains a diagnosis of exclusion. Although generally a self-limiting disease, CRMO can have a prolonged course and result in significant morbidity. Radiologists can be the first to suggest this diagnosis given its characteristic radiographic appearance and distribution of disease. Radiologists should be familiar with the typical imaging findings of CRMO to prevent unnecessary multiple biopsies and long-term antibiotic treatment in children with CRMO.

Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO) (http://www.nomidalliance.org/crmo.php) |
Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis is an autoinflammatory disease that mostly affects children. The causes of the disease have been linked to gene mutations in some cases, especially on chromosome18q in one family. More research is needed on the genetic causes of this challenging condition. CRMO presents in patients with periodic fevers, bone pain and bone lesions that can develop anywhere in the body. This is a rare disease, that has been found to affect more girls than boys. The peak for symptom incidence is around 10 years of age, but symptoms can be present from toddler or preschool age to even when patients are on middle age or older. Some patients can have many affected areas in their body, or only a few sites in their body. Children will develop deep aching pain, limping, tenderness over affected areas and often fevers. Common sites are the long bones of the body, the collar bone (clavicle) and shoulder girdle. The spine, ankles and feet may also be affected. Patients may also present with skin manifestations, such as psoriasis, acne, or pustules on the hands and feet. Some patients may also have uveitis, or inflammatory bowel disease along with CRMO symptoms. Another autoinflammatory disease, Majeed, involves CRMO, but also presents with symptoms of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia and Sweet Syndrome. Majeed is linked to an autosomal recessive inheritance of an LPIN2 gene mutation from both parents, and is a very rare disease.

Pustular psoriasis with chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis and spontaneous fractures.

Abstract
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is rarely associated with pustular psoriasis in children. We describe a child with severe pustular psoriasis in whom multiple fractures, bone deformities, and severe growth failure from chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis developed. The recurrent fractures led to an incorrect assumption of child abuse. Both the bone disease and pustular psoriasis responded to treatment with etretinate.
