Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this investigation was to illustrate a variety of soft-tissue abnormalities on MR imaging encountered in connection with acute marrow infarction in children with sickle cell disease.

Conclusions: Extraosseous abnormalities on MR imaging preclude differentiation of acute marrow infarction from osteomyelitis in children with sickle cell disease.
