Primary sternal osteomyelitis (PSO) is rare. In a 9-year-old boy with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, magnetic resonance imaging helped to promptly establish the diagnosis of PSO. Eleven previously reported cases are reviewed, emphasiz ing surgical drainage and antimicrobial therapy for optimal outcome. Magnetic resonance imaging may be superior to other imaging studies for the diagnosis of PSO.
原发性胸骨骨髓炎（PSO）较为罕见。在一名患有金黄色葡萄球菌菌血症的9岁男孩中，磁共振成像有助于迅速确诊PSO。本文回顾了11例既往报道的病例，强调手术引流和抗菌治疗以获得最佳疗效。磁共振成像在PSO的诊断方面可能优于其他影像学检查。
