Abstract:
Neurofibromatosis (NF) type I is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation of the NF type I gene. This disease is associated with a variety of skeletal manifestations. In this article, we report a 33-year-old female patient with a known history of von Recklinghausen's disease and inflammatory right buttock pain. Diagnostic imaging pointed out unilateral sacroiliitis possibly of a septic origin. Sacroiliac biopsy showed histological patterns consistent with NF. This case report summarizes an exceptional localization of NF mimicking the imaging of infectious sacroiliitis.

Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...
Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints
There are two types of cartilaginous joints:
Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis ("joined by cartilage") is a cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis may be temporary...
Joints
Structural joint classifications are based on the material that makes up the joint as well as whether or not the joint contains a space between the bones. Joints are structurally classified as fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial.
