| Abstract |
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an idiopathic inflammatory disease. The initial lesions are typically found in the metaphyses, generally without periosteal reaction. We present a case of a 14-year-old female teenager with relapsing and remitting right iliac pain. There was no evidence of infectious organisms, neoplastic processes, or hematologic malignancy based on laboratory tests. Initial computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated atypical periosteal proliferation in the right ilium. Histopathology demonstrated only non-specific chronic inflammation compatible with CRMO. Two years later, this patient developed left humeral pain. MRI and CT images revealed thickening and marrow edema involving the humeral cortex. This case highlights that CRMO can begin as a unifocal lesion and also possibly within the ilium, despite usually being multifocal and involving the long bone metaphysis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 October 2018.
All research outputs
#18,556,449
of 22,982,639 outputs
Outputs from BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
#3,169
of 4,088 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#241,942
of 317,266 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
#71
of 84 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,982,639 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,088 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.1. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 317,266 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 84 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
