IMAGING FINDINGS:

Multiple focal sclerotic bone lesions clustered around joints in both knees and sacroiliac joints

DIAGNOSIS:

Osteopoikilosis

TEACHING POINTS:

Sclerosing bony dysplasia characterized by multiple enostoses
Typically clustered around joints, aligned parallel to trabeculae. Usually 1-3 mm, they can reach up to 20 mm
Rare condition; inherited; asymptomatic; incidental
Important to avoid misdiagnosis with other relevant pathologies such as metastasis

Dehiscent jugular bulb

The jugular bulb bulges into the left middle ear cavity with absence of the sigmoid plate separating the jugular bulb from the middle ear in keeping with dehiscent jugular bulb.

It is one of the causes of pulsatile tinnitus, patients can also present with conductive hearing loss if the jugular vein contacts the tympanic membrane.

Otosclerosis

There is a small lucency anterior to the vestibule, just lateral to the basal turn of the cochlea. Consistent with fenestral otosclerosis.

There are two types of otosclerosis:

1- Fenestral: is the most common type. It involves the bone anterior to the oval window and causes conductive hearing loss.
2- Retro-fenestral: involves the cochlear capsule and causes sensorineural hearing loss.
The two types can occur simultaneously.

12-year-old boy, asymptomatic:

Radiograph a

Radiograph b

What do you see?

Lytic lesion on distal fibular metaphysis with well-defined sclerotic borders is seen on both anteroposterior (a) and oblique (b) radiographs

What do you see?

NOF: non ossifying fibroma

– Most common fibrous bone lesion
– Same as fibrous cortical defect but larger version
– If large enough, may cause pathological fractures
– One of DON’T TOUCH lesions
