title: [Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis. Case report and overview as a contribution to the knowledge about the disease].
abstract: CRMO is a particular form of osteomyelitis in children which may also affect adolescents, and which may persist into adult age. CRMO differs from the conventional forms of OM through the multifocal involvement of the skeleton, a chronic course with recurrences and new lesions occurring unpredictably in various sites. Symptoms are rather mild. The histopathology is non-characteristic, the etiology unknown. Long term prognosis is favourable in spite of the lack of any specific therapy. The radiological appearances are essential for the diagnosis. The present report is aimed as a contribution to the knowledge of this recently established disease entity.
