Melorheostosis: About A Case and Reviewed the Literature
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Melorheostosis is defined as progressive bone dysplasia, which can lead to painful complications and deformities. The most common symptoms are pain and limitations of joint mobility due to bone and soft tissue deformities. The diagnosis is based on radiology. Here we report the case of a 39-year-old woman who has been consulting for left ankle pain of increasing intensity for two years, in whom standard radiographs were characteristic of melorheostosis. MRI was performed to better study the behavior and extent of lesions.
