CRMO is a polymorphous disorder in which whole-body MRI is extremely useful for showing subclinical edema. Vertebral collapse requires long-term monitoring.

The prognosis was slightly better in minor IMV than in moderate IMV. Postnatal MRI showed white-matter abnormalities in two-thirds of the infants with a poor outcome.

Dynamic MRI is a non-invasive, rapid and repeatable method. It can be considered a complementary tool to endoscopy and fluoroscopy, particularly in children, for assessing VPI without any sedation or radiation exposure.
