Resumo: | Introduction: Calcaneal osteomyelitis is a relatively rare entity and may be underdiagnosed for not being correctly recognized. Case report: An eight-year-old white boy presented with heel pain and an inability to weight-bearing. The condition was misdiagnosed as Sever’s disease so he was discharged with symptomatic treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging two weeks after clinical onset revealed diffuse osteomyelitis of his calcaneum. He underwent six weeks of antibiotics administered intravenously, with clinical improvement. In one year of follow-up he has no evidence of complications. Discussion: Paediatricians should include calcaneal osteomyelitis as a differential diagnosis in any child/adolescent presenting with indolent heel pain. Delays in the diagnosis can lead to disastrous complications. |

Caso Clínico: Criança de oito anos de idade, raça caucasina, observada no serviço de urgência por dor no calcanhar direito e incapacidade na marcha. Foi inicialmente diagnosticada de doença de Sever, pelo que foi medicada sintomaticamente. A Ressonância Magnética duas semanas após o início da sintomatologia revelou osteomielite difusa de calcâneo. Cumpriu seis semanas de antibioterapia endovenosa com melhoria clínica. No follow-up no ano seguinte, não apresentou evidência de complicações. Discussão: Os pediatras devem incluir a osteomielite do calcâneo no diagnóstico diferencial da criança/adolescente que apresenta dor indolente do calcanhar. Os atrasos diagnósticos podem conduzir a complicações desastrosas.Centro Hospitalar Universitário do Porto2017-07-24T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.25753/BirthGrowthMJ.v26.i2.10795eng2183-9417Barroso, FábioNascimento, Joãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-09-21T14:55:23Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/10795Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:56:22.701699Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
