Bone marrow oedema syndrome: A rare case

Abstract

We describe a case report of 52 years old lady with persistent right hip pain whose diagnosis was obscure for two months. The symptoms started two months ago which was spontaneous and acute in onset without fever. The pain was continuous in nature, non radiating, which aggravated with activities. After thorough clinical evaluation and MRI scan a diagnosis of Bone Marrow Oedema Syndrome (BMOS) was made. BMOS is a disease of late pregnancy but rare in post menopausal lady, and her well and early response to core decompression treatment which would otherwise have been treated conservatively for 6 to 12 months with analgesic and rest made us present the case.
