ABSTRACT
Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is an autoinflammatory bone disease in childhood and adolescence with a preference for the female gender. It is manifested with multiple osseous lesions, with a predilection for the metaphyseal end zones of the long bones of the lower extremities. These bone lesions usually occur multifocally, can recur and develop a different appearance depending on the bone structure affected. Patients present with a longer disease history, changing clinical symptoms and unspecific paraclinical signs. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the imaging of choice and particularly as a whole body examination can speed up the diagnosis and is an important component of follow-up controls. Differential diagnoses include numerous inflammatory, benign and malignant bone diseases. Therefore, it is essential to know the diagnosis of CNO and to take it into consideration in cases of an unclear inflammatory bone process in young patients.
