Abstract
A case of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis in a 14-year-old girl is presented. The disease had an initial aggressive osteolytic ap pearance involving both the maxilla and the mandible. Conservative tre atment with minimal surgical intervention has been successful in this case during a 2-year follow-up period. The value of magnetic resonance imaging and bone scintigraphy in this case and the cause of chronic r ecurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is discussed.
