    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Brodie abscesses show varied imaging signs, often misdiagnosed preoperatively. Despite diverse appearances, they represent a single bone infection entity responding to surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Brodie abscesses are a form of subacute osteomyelitis.
    • A wide range of imaging findings can be associated with Brodie abscesses.
    • Previous literature has not fully appreciated the radiological spectrum.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the radiological spectrum of Brodie abscesses.
    • To highlight the variability in imaging presentation.
    • To correlate imaging findings with clinical and pathological data.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 25 cases of Brodie abscess.
    • Analysis of radiological features including location, cortical thickening, periosteal reaction, and sequestra.
    • Comparison of preoperative diagnoses with final pathological findings.

    Main Results:

    • Brodie abscesses exhibit a broad radiological spectrum.
    • Diaphyseal location was observed in one-third of cases.
    • Associated findings included cortical thickening (50%), periosteal reaction (40%), and sequestra (20%).
    • Half of the cases received a preoperative diagnosis other than osteomyelitis.

    Conclusions:

    • The radiological appearance of Brodie abscesses is highly variable.
    • Despite diverse imaging, clinical presentation and pathology suggest a single entity.
    • Surgical excision is an effective treatment, supporting the concept of a unified condition.
