rounding sclerosis. There is also the possibility of progres-
sion with locoregional cortical hyperostosis, in addition
to simple, solid or multilamellar laminar periosteal reac-
tion (7-48%), which may be the most obvious alteration
in long and diaphyseal bones. Edema in bones and sur-
rounding soft parts is usually present.

Jansson et al. proposed the diagnosis of CRMO based
on criteria, being positive if two major or one major and
three minor criteria are met,
1,2,7,8
as follows:
•
•
Major criteria – osteolytic/sclerotic lesions evident in
imaging tests; multifocal bone lesions; presence of pal-
moplantar pustulosis or psoriasis; sterile bone biop-
sies with signs of inflammation and/or sclerosis.
1,2,7,8
•
•
Minor – normal blood count and leukogram; good
general health; discrete/moderate elevation of ESR
and CRP; disease course greater than 6 months; hy-
perostosis; association with other autoimmune di-
seases besides psoriasis and palmoplantar pustulo-
sis; first or second degree relative with autoimmune
or autoimmune disease.

The most widely used treatment with the best results is
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Other
therapeutic possibilities include the use of steroids,
methotrexate, sulfasalazine, bisphosphonates, infliximab,
colchicine, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, alpha and gamma
interferons.

CRMO is not usually lethal, but at least 20% of cases
develop with sequelae. Chronic pain, pathological fractures,
growth deformities, focal increase of bone volume, col-
lapse in varying degrees of vertebral bodies with repercus-
sion in the spinal canal are some of the possible compli-
cations, the latter being more serious.

esumo
Osteomielite crônica multifocal recorrente exibindo pre-
domínio de reação periosteal
Osteomielite crônica multifocal recorrente é uma desor-
dem autoinflamatória óssea idiopática não piogênica,
envolvendo vários sítios e com evolução clínica persistin-
do por mais de 6 meses, podendo apresentar episódios
de remissão e exacerbação em longo prazo. Representa
de 2 a 5% das osteomielites, com incidência aproximada
de até 4/1.000.000, com idade média de apresentação
estimada entre 8 e 11 anos, predominando no gênero
feminino. Os membros inferiores são os mais afetados,
com predileção para regiões metafisárias junto à fise. Des-
crevemos um caso da doença em uma menina de 2 anos
e 5 meses de idade, com acometimento de ulna esquerda,
mandíbula à direita e tíbia esquerda, exibindo predomínio
de reação periosteal como achado principal.
