RESUMO
Primary sternal osteomyelitis [PSO] is rare and of difficult premature diagnosis in pediatric population. We report a case of PSO complicated with abscess in a one and half-year-old child with a sickle cell disease. Surgery completed by antimicrobial treatment gave a good result and culture of aspirated materiel grew Salmonella Enteritidis
RESUMO
Dyschondrosteosis is a general disease with a dominant transmission. It is of late discovery ever in the birth. Most frequent at the girl. Clinically it associate an incapacity staturale moderate and deformation of members with the infringement elective of the average segment of the front arm and leg. The gene incriminate in the genese of the disease is the SHOX gene. Its exist in the pseudo-autosomic commun region of chromosom X and Y in X pter-p. 22-3 and Y pter-p. 11-2.. The nature of the disorder is a mutation or a deletion infringement. Prognosis is favorable not justifying mostly any treatment. The radial osteotomy is indicate in case of confusion functional. We bring back an observation of a dyschondrosteosis case
RESUMO
The subacute osteomyelitis of the hip is rare and remains a difficult diagnostic. We report a case of right pain hip in a 9-year-old girl, associated with a slight fever, rebel to the antibiotic treatment. Biology showed moderated raised inflammatory markers. The plain radiographs of the pelvic showed a little bone demineralization of the acetabular roof. The ultrasonography of the right hip was normal. The pelvic magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] showed a medullary edema in the acetabular roof. The bone scintigraphy showed an intense uptake on the right acetabulum. The computed tomography [CT] of the hip revealed the presence in the right acetabular roof of two bone defects enclosing bony sequestra thus evoking the diagnosis of subacute osteomyelitis. The evolution was favourable under antibiotic treatment managed by the intravenous way during 15 days [Bristopen, Gentamycin] then relayed by the oral way for one month
