title: [Primary acute osteomyelitis of the sternum associated with anterior mediastinitis].
abstract: In a 14-year-old adolescent, primary acute osteomyelitis in a rare localization, the sternum, was associated with anterior mediastinitis. Antibiotic therapy and partial sternectomy together with emptying the mediastinal abscess was successful. Therapeutic management of such cases is presented in a review of the literature.
