  1. Sequestrum

    Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 A sequestrum is a piece of dead bone that has become separated during the process of necrosis from normal sound bone. It is a complication sequela of osteomyelitis . The pathological process is as follows infection in the bone leads to an increase in intramedullary pressure due to inflammatory exudates the periosteum becomes stripped from the osteum, leading to vascular thrombosis bone necrosis follows due to lack of blood supply sequestra are formed Image Bony sequestrum in a child femur.jpg thumb right An X ray of a child s femur showing a bony sequestrum highlighted by the blue arrow. The sequestra are surrounded by sclerotic bone which is relatively avascular without a blood supply . Within the bone itself, the haversian canals become blocked with scar tissue, and the bone becomes surrounded by thickened periosteum. Due to the avascular nature of this bone, antibiotics which travel to sites of infection via the bloodstream poorly penetrate these tissues. Hence the difficulty in treating chronic osteomyelitis. At the same time as this, new bone is forming known as involucrum . Opening in this involucrum allow debris and exudates including pus to pass from the sequestrum via sinus tracts to the skin. Rarely, a sequestrum may turn out to be an osteoid osteoma, a rare tumor of the bone. Osteochondropathy Category Bone fractures Category Gross pathology Pathology stub ...   more details

Pott s puffy tumor , first described by Sir Percivall Pott in 1760, is characterized by an osteomyelitis of the frontal bone, either direct or through haematogenic spread. This results in a swelling on the forehead, hence the name. The infection can also spread inwards, leading to an intracranial abscess . This type of chronic osteomyelitis of the frontal bone is confused with acute sub periosteal abscess of the frontal bone, which presents as a discrete collection over the frontal sinus.

    Wiktionary Caries is a progressive destruction of any kind of bone structure, including the Human skull skull , rib s and other bones, or the tooth teeth . Caries can be caused by osteomyelitis , which is a microorganism disease . A disease that involves caries is mastoiditis , an inflammation of the mastoid process , in which the bone gets eroded. Types Dental caries is one of many types of caries. Dental caries affects different parts of the teeth enamel, dentin, or cementum in the crown or the root of the tooth. Nearly all cases contain bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus , which produce lactic acid as the products responsible for the caries. ref name Ullmanns Wolfgang Weinert in Oral Hygiene Products Ullmann s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 2005, Wiley VCH, Weinheim DOI 10.1002 14356007.a18 209 ref References references Category Gross pathology Category Bacterial diseases Category Skeletal system id Karies ja uk de Zahnkaries ...   more details

Classically, this may present after conversion as a draining abscess extending from the tibia out through the shin. Most frequent causative organism is Staphylococcus aureus. Clinical Presentation Localized pain, often nocturnal, alleviated by aspirin. Often mimics the symptoms of Osteoid osteoma , which is typically 1cm diameter. Most Frequent Sites Usually occurs at the metaphysis of long bones. Distal tibia, proximal tibia, distal femur, proximal or distal fibula, and distal radius. Radiographic Features Oval elliptical or serpiginous radiolucency usually 1cm surrounded by a heavily reactive sclerosis, granulation tissue, and a Nidus often less than 1cm. The margins often appear scalloped on radiograph. Brodie s abscess is best visualized using Computed tomography CT scan. Associated atrophy of soft tissue near the site of infection and shortening of the affected bone. Osteoblastoma may be a classic sign for Brodie s Abscess.

Fossils have been discovered in Texas . Labidosaurus was heavily built, resembling a lizard with a large head, and measuring about convert 75 cm in long. It had multiple rows of sharp, conical teeth , suitable for crushing animals with hard shells, such as insects or mollusc s, although they may also have eaten tough plants. ref name EoDP cite book editor Palmer, D. year 1999 title The Marshall Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Animals publisher Marshall Editions location London page 63 isbn 1 84028 152 9 ref A lower jaw of Labidosaurus was described in 2011 that shows evidence of osteomyelitis , or an infection of the bone. It is the earliest known example of an infection in a land vertebrate. The infection probably developed because the Pulp tooth pulp cavity of a broken dentary tooth was exposed to bacteria . Although another tooth would have replaced the broken one, regeneration would have been slow. Labidosaurus and other early reptiles adapted to herbivory by having teeth that were deeply implanted in the jaws. This deep implantation limited tooth replacement, meaning that a broken tooth would have been exposed for a long period of time. ref name RSPM11 cite journal last Reisz first R.R. coauthors Scott, D.M.
