Abstract

Brodie's abscess is a bone infection which usually presents as a subacute course. Surgical debridement followed by intravenous antibiotics has been the classical therapeutical approach. This report describes a case of a 12-year-old boy who presented with clinical, analytical, and radiological features of subacute osteomyelitis affecting distal tibia, and who was successfully managed with a prolonged course of exclusively oral antibiotics avoiding a surgical procedure. An exclusively oral antibiotherapy approach for Brodie's abscess could provide comparable success rates to surgical debridement followed by intravenous antibiotics in selected pediatric patients.

Keywords:

Resumen

El absceso de Brodie consiste en una infección del tejido óseo que suele presentarse con un curso subagudo. El desbridamiento quirúrgico seguido de antibióticos por vía intravenosa ha sido el enfoque terapéutico clásico. Reportamos el caso de un niño de 12 años que presentó características clínicas, analíticas y radiológicas de osteomielitis subaguda en la tibia distal y que fue tratado exitosamente con antibioterapia por vía oral sin precisar desbridamiento quirúrgico. El enfoque de antibioterapia exclusivamente por vía oral para el absceso de Brodie podría proporcionar tasas de éxito comparables al desbridamiento quirúrgico seguido de antibióticos intravenosos en pacientes pediátricos seleccionados.
