title: [Melorheostosis, osteopoikilosis and ostiopathia striata. Their clinical significance and the value of scintigraphy in the differential diagnosis].
abstract: Melorheostosis, Osteopoikilosis and Osteopathia striata Clinical Relevance and Bone Scintigraphy Melorheostosis, Osteopoikilosis and Osteopathia striata are rare conditions. Although there is no casual therapy for any of the three diseases, differential diagnosis is important because concomitant or resulting impairments deserve orthopaedic or medical treatment. The analysis of typical cases with their clinical, roentgenological and radionuclide presentation shows the need of an accurate diagnosis to prevent senseless treatment or lost therapeutic opportunities.
