Although the disease is well described in dental literature and is usually associated with an odontogenic infection originates form caries, a number of other causative factors have been occasionally reported, such as previous dental extraction in the lesion area, mild periodontitis or dental eruption. GO is characterized with peripheral subperiosteal bone deposition caused by mild irritation or infection. Management involves removal of the source of infection and antibiotic treatment. This case report presents an unusual case of Garré’s osteomyelitis affecting the mandible of a 12-year-old female.

GARRE OSTEOMYELİTİ: BİR OLGU SUNUMU

Abstract

Garré osteomyeliti genellikle çocuklarda ve ergenlik çağındaki bireylerde görülen osteomyelit tipidir. Garré osteomyeliti’nin en sık görüldüğü kemik mandibula korpusudur, bunu femur takip eder. Literatürde iyi tanımlanmış olan bu hastalık çürük kaynaklı odontojenik enfeksiyonlarla ilişkili bulunmakla birlikte lezyon bölgesinden daha önce diş çekimi yapılmış olması, hafif periodontitis veya diş sürmesi gibi bir çok farklı neden de literatürde yerini almıştır. Garré osteomyeliti orta derece irritasyon ya da infeksiyondan kaynaklanan periferal subperiostal kemik depozisyonuyla karakterizedir. Tedavisinde enfeksiyon nedenini ortadan kaldırmak ve antibiyotik tedavisi yer alır. Bu vaka raporunda 12 yaşındaki kız çocuğunda mandibulada nadir görülen Garré osteomyeliti sunulmuştur.
