At initial presentation, chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis may mimic acute hematogenous osteomyelitis; however, cultures of affected bone are sterile. Nuclear scintigraphy identifies additional foci of involvement that present concurrently or sequentially. Unlike acute bacterial osteomyelitis, chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis seems unaffected by antibiotic therapy and typically responds to treatment with antiinflammatory drugs. Surgical decortication has been reported for refractory cases. The case presented here illustrates the rare involvement of the mandible after initial presentation in the spine of a 4-year-old girl and the refractory nature of the disease over 6 years despite treatment with various medical and surgical therapies.
