Abstract

We present a case of an 8-year-old girl with collapse of her T6 and T7 vertebrae secondary to chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis. She presented with chronic abdominal pain and was found to have multiple bony lesions involving her spine, clavicle and mandible. Extensive investigations, including tissue biopsy, were unable to identify an infective cause and there was no response to a prolonged course of intravenous antibiotics. She made a good response to regular non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication.
