Multifocal Osteonecrosis Induced bye Glucocorticoids
Main Article Content
Abstract
Multifocal osteonecrosis is a rare entity and is defined by the involvement of at least three different territories. It mainly affects young people between the second and fifth decade of life.
We present the clinical case of a patient who presented multifocal osteonecrosis with involvement of both hips, shoulders, knees, right elbow, and neck of the left foot. The main risk factor present in this case is the consumption of glucocorticoids. It required a multidisciplinary approach for both diagnosis and treatment.
