We describe the case of a 14-year-old girl with relapsed pain following adequate treatment of pubic symphysis septic arthritis with adjacent osteomyelitis. Evaluation of her symptoms was challenging, because magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was not helpful and repeat surgical exploration was not favored. She was treated with a combination of prolonged antimicrobial therapy and local steroid injection. This case highlights the limitations of MRI as a follow-up study for evaluating symptom relapse of acute osteomyelitis.
我们描述了一名14岁女孩的病例,她在耻骨联合化脓性关节炎合并相邻骨髓炎得到充分治疗后出现复发性疼痛。对她症状的评估具有挑战性,因为磁共振成像(MRI)并无帮助,且不主张再次进行手术探查。她接受了延长抗菌治疗和局部类固醇注射的联合治疗。该病例突出了MRI作为评估急性骨髓炎症状复发的随访研究的局限性。
