摘要：

Odontoid process is an atypical and very rare localization of osteomyelitis. We reported the case of a 72-year-old hemodialysed man with methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis of the odontoid process. Osteomyelitis was diagnosed at MRI and F-18-FDG PET/CT. While clinical examination and conventional radiographs were non contributive, F-18-FDG PET/CT also allowed the diagnosis of right foot osteomylitis and multiple vertebral septic localizations. F-18-FDG PET/CT done at month 3 demonstrated a regression of the odontoid and foot hypermetabolic activity. This case illustrates the atypical presentation of this septic localization and the usefulness of F-18-FDG PET/CT to perform whole body screening and detect septic metastasis.
