Abstract:
Osteitis condensans ilii (OCI) remains an orthopedic diagnostic dilemma; moreover, such presentation in the emergency room (ER) is unique. Limited awareness about this topic compels emergency and internal medicine physicians to perform extensive investigations which often leads to misdiagnosis. A 23-year pregnant female presented in the Emergency Room with severe low back pain, who was treated conservatively with radiological evidence of OCI. The mainstay treatments areanalgesics and physiotherapy.
