Presentation
They form the basis of this report because of either the unusualness of the clinical presentation, hitherto undescribed associated diseases or the unusual age of presentation and sites of lesions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Jaw & Teeth
- Parotid Mass
CONCLUSIONS: Parotid mass or swelling is a common presentation of CRMO involving the mandible. The possibility of this diagnosis should be raised when typical clinical and imaging features are present. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Musculoskeletal
- Musculoskeletal Pain
Because of a high frequency of musculoskeletal disorders in children/ adolescents, it can be quite challenging to distinguish CRMO/ CNO from nonspecific musculoskeletal pain or from malignancies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Arthralgia
A case of acute lymphotic leukemia which was difficult to make a diagnosis of CRMO for moving arthralgia and periarticular swelling. [saidsupport.org]

- Shoulder Swelling
There were periodic exacerbations of pain, swelling and discharge over affected areas. He had a short limb gait and shoulder asymmetry. His left shoulder was warm, erythematous and there was decreased range of movement in all directions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Long-Bone Deformity
It has been proven to be a non-benign disease in the long term, with persistent pain and bone deformity as the most common complaints. [jocr.co.in]
Psychiatrical
- Suggestibility
Two genetic syndromes have CRMO as a prominent phenotype-Majeed syndrome and deficiency of the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist-and suggest that interleukin-1 may be a key cytokine in disease pathogenesis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It is characterized by insidious onset of pain, local bone expansion and radiological findings suggestive of osteomyelitis at multiple sites. CRMO predominantly affects metaphyses of long bones but clavicle and mandible are suggestive of diagnosis. [moh-it.pure.elsevier.com]
Urogenital
- Incontinence
She had no significant history of weight loss, infective symptoms or neurological symptoms, including bladder or bowel incontinence. There was no recent travel history. [casereports.bmj.com]
Workup
[…] description While histological analysis of bone lesions may help to exclude malignant processes, the histologic appearance of CRMO may mimic acute and secondary chronic osteomyelitis caused by microbiological infection Therefore, an extensive microbiological workup [pathologyoutlines.com]
In relation to this case report and our difficulty diagnosing CRMO, we would recommend that whole-body MRI should considered when possible, as part of the diagnostic workup. [em-consulte.com]
Serum
- Microcytosis
Peripheral blood films showed hypochromia and microcytosis. The sites involved by CRMO were periarticular, mainly around the elbow, knee, wrist and small joints of the hand. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Goals of treatment of CRMO/CNO include: - Reduce inflammation - Prevent bone damage and bone deformities - Decrease pain CRMO/CNO is different for each patient. Not every child responds to every treatment. [en.wikipedia.org]
To describe an unusual manifestation and treatment of a rare disease. CRMO is a rare inflammatory bone disease that should be differentiated from bacterial osteomyelitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pain resolution was achieved within 3 months of PAM treatment in every case. One patient subsequently developed a pain amplification syndrome. [doi.org]
Prognosis
Favorable, self-limited long-term prognosis of CRMO has been assumed. Antibiotics provide no improvement. Course, severity and recurrency can be influenced positively by antiphlogistic substances, although this has not yet been proved. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The prognosis can vary among individuals: some children may go into complete remission when they become adults and some may continue with this disease. [checkorphan.org]
Prognosis will depend on your child's individual disease and response to treatment. It is best to discuss the prognosis with your child's pediatric rheumatologist. [en.wikipedia.org]
Treatment and prognosis CRMO should be treated by a rheumatologist. While non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may cause some symptomatic relief, there is often the need for a greater degree of immunosupression and possibly biological agents. [radiopaedia.org]
Etiology
Several observations suggest the contribution of genetic factors to the etiology of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
No epidemiological data on incidence and prevalence have been published so far. However, the incidence might be estimated at 1:1,000,000.The cause of this condition is unknown, despite the intensive investigation over a period of more than 30 years. [medigoo.com]

Pathophysiology
We summarize the clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, most recent advances in understanding the pathophysiology, and available treatment options and outcomes in CNO/CRMO. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Remember, trauma is part of the pathophysiology of this disease. First they bang into something, then they have a transient bacteremia and the bacteria sets up shop in that bone. So, the legs are particularly prone. [lecturio.com]
Prevention
It is important to publish cases like this, because the recognition of CRMO can prevent aggressive surgical and medical treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The aim of the treatment is to try to prevent flare-ups and treat them if they occur. [medigoo.com]
