Abstract

Emphysematous osteomyelitis (EO) is an extremely rare bone infection by gas-forming bacteria with few documented cases in the literature. Our study aims to highlight characteristic imaging features, including the novel use of positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging (PET-MRI) in the diagnosis of this potentially fatal entity.
