“…I). Une ostéomyé-lite maxillaire a été retrouvée chez 6 patients [3,11,17,19,20] et une ostéomyélite mandibulaire a été décrite chez 12 patients [3,4,[9][10][11][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Par ailleurs, 9 patients ont eu une fracture mandibulaire [3,4,[9][10][11][18][19][20][21].…”

“…Cela justifie également le recours à des thérapeutiques plus conservatrices qu'à la mandibule [9]. Ainsi, un simple curetage ou une séquestrectomie associés à une antibiothérapie ont suffi à obtenir une rémission complète de l'ostéomyélite maxillaire chez le patient atteint de pycnodysostose [19,20]. Du fait de sa densité osseuse plus importante et de sa vascularisation terminale, l'ostéomyélite mandibulaire est plus fréquente et peut être compliquée et/ ou faire suite à une fracture pathologique mandibulaire.…”

“…Osteomyelitis may result from an infection [21][22][23], as in the second case, either spontaneously [6,14] or after surgery/extraction [6,9,23]. They can also be complicated by and/or follow iatrogenic fractures [6,11,24].…”

“…Such oral abnormalities, which result in difficulties in maintaining oral hygiene, facilitate tooth decay and periodontal disease [7,8]. The most common complications are mandibular osteomyelitis [9,10] and pathological fractures of the jaws [7,11]. Differential diagnoses of this condition include osteopetrosis and cleidocranial dysplasia [8,12,13].…”
