Abstract

We present a rare case of chronic infectious multifocal osteomyelitis with affectation symmetric in the both femures in a patient with spondyarthropathic secondary Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The diagnosis was confirmed with culture of the bone biopsy. The aim of this work is the revision of the Chronic Infectious Multifocal Osteomyelitis and the Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis into SAPHO syndrome that both were the possibilities diagnoses.
