Abstract:
A case of cat-scratch disease in an 8 year-old girl is reported. The inoculation injury followed by regional lymphadenopathy was typical of Parinaud syndrome. This patient also had vertebral lesions on scintigraphy, x-rays and CT scan. While the oculoglandular localization spontaneously improved within a few weeks, osteomyelitic lesions remained grossly unchanged after almost 2 years of follow-up.
