Abstract

Brodie apsesi, nadir görülen bir osteomiyelit formudur. Atipik klinik özelliklerinden dolayı tanı genellikle gecikir. Burada, daha öncesinde sağlıklı olup herhangi bir risk faktörü olmayan erkek çocukta sağ distal tibiada lokalize olan Brodie apsesi

Özet

Brodie abscess is a rare form of osteomyelitis. Diagnosis is usually delayed because of atypical presentation. Here, we aimed to report Brodie abscess localizing in the right distal tibia in a previously healthy boy who displayed no risk factors. Diagnosis was based on magnetic resonance imaging and bone biopsy. The patient was treated successfully with antibiotic therapy and surgical evacuation of the abscess.
