Özet

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare non-infec-tious inflammatory bone disease of unknown etiology. It presents with recurrent episodes of bone pain and fever, resembling bacterial osteo-myelitis, but cultures of lesions are sterile and it is unresponsive to antibi-otic therapy. We report a case of 11-year-old girl diagnosed with CRMO, who presented with chronic pain and swelling of bilateral legs. We want to emphasize that CRMO should be kept in mind in the differential diag-nosis of recurrent, multifocal bone pain and clinical osteomyelitis.
