Q

What is the term for when the defensive response leads to the production of granulation tissue, which subsequently forms dense scar tissue in an attempt to wall off the infected area…The encircled dead space acts as a reservoir for bacteria, and antibiotic medications have great difficulty reaching the site?

Q

What are 4 histo features of the necrotic bone in acute supperative osteomyelitis? What will the submitted material be diagnosed as UNLESS good CPC points to the appropriate diagnosis of acute osteomyelitis?

A
  1. loss of osteocytes from their lacunae
  2. peripheral resorption
  3. bacterial colonization
  4. PMNs at periphery and haversian

Diagnosed as a sequestrum unless CPC for osteomyelitis

Q

What is the difference between primary chronic osteomyelitis and chronic supperative osteomyelitis (secondary chronic osteomyelitis)?

A

Primary chronic osteomyelitis:
no obvious bacterial infection (ergo no response to abx)
supperation and sequestration absent
primary focus not proven

Chronic supperative osteomyelitis (secondary chronic osteomyelitis:
bacterial cause
sequestration
treated with abx

Q

What are the variants of primary chronic osteomyelitis with systemic manifestations

A

CRMO: chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis
SAPHO: synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis

18
Q

What form of primary chronic osteomyelitis have the osseous lesions of CRMO, but also present with 4 other bony and dermal findings?

A

SAPHO syndrome:

Synovitis (inflammation in the synovium of the joint)
Acne
Pustulosis (inflammatory skin condition resulting in pustules on palms and/or soles)
Hyperostosis (excess bone growth)
Osteitis

19
Q

What is A (not the only) suspected pathogen for the development of SAPHO syndrome?

A

Propionibacterium acnes

20
Q

What entity represents a reactive alteration
of bone that is initiated and exacerbated by chronic
overuse of the masticatory muscles?

A

chronic tendoperiostitis

21
Q

What are the two most common muscles overused leading to tendoperiostitis?

A

predominantly the masseter and digastric (bruxism, clenching, nail biting, co-contraction, and inability to relax jaw musculature)

22
Q

What is the age distribution for primary chronic osteomyelitis?

A

Bimodal: adolescence and 5th decade of life

23
Q

What is the predominant radiographic alteration of primary chronic osteomyelitis?

A

medullary sclerosis

24
Q

What is thought to represent the pediatric variant of SAPHO?

A

CRMO (chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis)

25
Q

What are the 6 neutrophilic skin diseases associated with SAPHO and CRMO?

A
  1. palmoplantar pustulosis (blisters on palms and feet)
  2. severe acne
  3. hidradenitis suppurativa (AKA: acne inversa, lumps, underarms, under the breasts, and the groin)
  4. psoriasis
  5. Sweet syndrome (AKA acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, fever, elevated WBC, papules and plaques w PMN on histo)
  6. pyoderma gangrenosum (pustules or nodules become ulcers that progressively grow)
26
Q

SAPHO usually is noted in adults, classically affects the axial skeleton (where specifically?), and MORE frequently demonstrates concurrent neutrophilic skin lesions.

A

anterior chest wall

27
Q

What is the mean age for chronic tendoperiostitis patients?

A

40 years, can occur in all ages tho

28
Q

What are three classic symptoms for chronic tendoperiostitis?

A
  1. recurrent pain
  2. swelling of the cheek
  3. trismus
29
Q

Treatment for Primary chronic osteomyelitis, CRMO, and SAPHO?

A

IV bisphosphonates (surgery contraindicated, can also use in conjunction: corticosteriods, NSAIDS, calcitonin, and TNFa inhibitors)

30
Q

Treatment for chronic tendoperiostitis?

A

resolution of the muscle overuse (splint,drugs,therapy, etc)

31
Q

Age for condensing osteitis?

A

most freq in children and young adults, but can occur in older adults

32
Q

What is the term for a residual area of condensing osteitis?

A

bone scar

33
Q

What is the alternate name for osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis?

A

periostitis ossificans

34
Q

What are the two most common culprits for the formation of bone within a periosteal reaction?

A
  1. osteomyelitis

2. malignant neoplasm (ewing sarc, osteogenic sarc, etc)

35
Q

What is a buzzword for the radiographic appearance of osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis?

A

“onion-skinning”

36
Q

Whats the mean age for proliferative periostitis patients? Whats the most frequent cause? Location?

A

13 years, dental caries, premolar/molar area of lower border of mandible

37
Q

What is the treatment for proliferative periostitis and how long might it take to resolve?

A

remove source of infection (usually a carious tooth)…bone should resolve in 6 to 12 months)

38
Q

What are the 2 alternate names for alveolar osteitis?

A
  1. dry socket

2. fibrinolytic alveolitis

39
Q

Premature ________ of the initial clot is thought to be responsible for the clinical condition known as alveolar osteitis.

A

fibrinolysis

40
Q

What is the most common locatoin for alveolar osteitis?

A

posterior mandible

41
Q

While the overall prevalence of alveolar osteitis is highest between 20 and 40 years, the likelihood of developing it is highest at what age range?

A

40-45

42
Q

What are the 4 steps for treating alveolar osteitis?

A
  1. radiograph to r/o root tip/foreign body
  2. remove all sutures
  3. irrigate with warm saline
  4. analgesics and home irrigation with saline or chlorhexidine for 3-4weeks

(use of an antiseptic dressing is controversial)
