Initially, a tumor was suspected. However, the bone biopsy showed osteomyelitis with a negative bacterial culture. Bone scintigraphy revealed inflammatory changes on multiple bone lesions. The slight elevation in inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein was of little clinical value. He was diagnosed with CRMO by sacral biopsy, and the clinical course progressed, with the presence of a new occipital lesion observed after the 1-year follow-up. The administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs successfully improved his clinical symptoms. The presence of a skull lesion in the occipital bone of a pediatric patient with CRMO has not been previously reported.}, pages = {493--500}, title = {Skull involvement in a pediatric case of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis}, volume = {77}, year = {2015} }
