Osteomyelitis of the ilium complicating Crohns disease is reported in 4 patients. This represents an incidence of 2 per cent in the material examined by the author.
In each instance fistulous tracts and abscesses were present adjacent to the involved iliac wings.
This type of pyogenic osteomyelitis usually responds to antibiotic therapy provided that the involved intestine and associated fistulas and abscesses are removed.
