Sclerosing osteomyelitis of Garré is a specific type of chronic osteomyelitis. It mainly affects children and young adults. It typically affects the mandible and is commonly associated with an odontogenic infection resulting from dental caries.
Radiographic features
Orthopantomogram (OPG)
AIt often presents as a localised overgrowth of bone on the outer surface of the cortex. This mass of bone, which is supracortical but subperiosteal, is smooth, fairly calcified, and is often described as a duplication of the cortical layer of the mandible.
The redundant cortical layering of the bone (onion skinning) is often considered a pathognomonic feature 8.
History and etymology
It was first described by Carl GarreGarré in 1893 6.
