RESUMEN

Clinical manifestations of subacute osteomyelitis may lead to delayed diagnosis. Acetabular subacute osteomyelitis is an uncommon disease. Bone tumors are usually suggested first. Diagnosis is often made based on radiological findings. We report on the case of a 9-year-old girl who consulted at the emergency department because of limping and pain in her left limb lasting 2 weeks. No fever was reported. Physical examination found a clear, painful reduction in hip mobility. X-ray findings revealed a posterior loss of bone in the acetabular wall. MRI found a mild invasion of the periarticular hip joint and muscles. The surgical exploration of the hip found a collection in the posterior acetabular wall suggesting septic disease. Bacteriological and pathological exams confirmed acetabular subacute osteomyelitis. Nine months after surgery, antibiotic therapy, and physiotherapy, the patient was painless and the hip mobility showed near normal values with a reduction in external rotation and flexion. The aim of this case report is to review the characteristics of subacute acetabular osteomyelitis, including therapeutic modalities, underlining surgical debridement as a rule for both diagnosis and treatment.

RESUMEN

Multifocal osteomyelitis is a rare complication of the Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine. It particularly affects immunocompromised children and poses a difficult diagnostic problem. A 6-month-old boy had BCG vaccination postnatally and developed extensive disseminated skeletal osteomyelitis. He was found to have severe combined immunodeficiency. Despite antibiotic therapy and bone marrow grafting, the disease was fatal.

RESUMEN

Acute carpal tunnel syndrome resulting from acute metacarpal osteomyelitis is an exceptional etiopathogenic entity. A 6-year-old boy developed an acute carpal tunnel syndrome on the left four days after trauma. The carpal tunnel was opened in an emergency setting and exploration revealed a pale median nerve with infiltration of neighboring tissue. After release, pus issued from the depth of the tunnel. A posterior approach disclosed the collection and a total loss of the 4th metacarpal periosteum, leading to the diagnosis of acute osteomyelitis. Edema and pain regressed rapidly with antibiotic therapy. A pathologic fracture of the 4th metacarpal discovered three months later was treated conservatively. At 10 months, the child has a very good functional result despite persistence of a short 4th metacarpal after healing. There was no motor or sensitive neurological deficit and thumb opposition was complete. We have been unable to find any other report of acute metacarpal osteomyelitis leading to acute carpal tunnel syndrome. Emergency treatment is crucial. Opening the annular ligament is the only way to achieve complete nerve recovery.
