Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis is a rare autoinflammatory diseasein children and adolescents. The path to diagnosis is difficult and lengthy,due to factors such as its rarity, nonspecific clinically symptoms (mostcommonly as joint pain and swelling), and mainly because there is no existingconsensus on diagnostic criteria. Therefore, this diagnosis is made byexclusion. In the diagnostic process, MR, especially whole-body MR imagingplays an irreplaceable role, as it determines the extent of the disease,tracks its activity, complications, and response to treatment on follow-upimaging.
