Background:

Groin pain in prepubertal children without trauma presents diagnostic challenges.
Osteochondrosis of the ischiopubic synchondrosis (Van Neck-Odelberg disease) is a rare condition.
Differential diagnoses include stress fractures, osteomyelitis, and neoplasia.

Observation:

A 12-year-old boy presented with right groin tenderness and limping.
Initial X-rays showed a sclerotic shadow over the ischiopubic region.
Diagnosis was confirmed using computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Findings:

Van Neck-Odelberg disease diagnosis requires careful consideration of clinical symptoms.
Radiographic findings of unilateral delayed fusion of the ischiopubic synchondrosis can be physiological.

Keywords:

Van Neck-Odelberg groin pain ischiopubic synchondrosis osteochondrosis
