Case ReportsCT-guided Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation of Osteoid Osteoma with Double Nidi in One Session.
Osteoid osteoma with multiple nidi is a rare condition. The aim of this report is to share a case of an osteoid osteoma with two separate nidi, which underwent radio-frequency ablation (RFA) treatment under CT-guidance for each of the nidi in the same session. A 15-year girl with osteoid osteoma in left tibia was referred to our clinic for percutaneous RFA. She had pain that worsened at nights. ⋯ To our knowledge, this case is one of the very few cases with double nidi, which was treated with RFA in one session. RFA is safe in treatment of osteoid osteomas; even two close and separate nidi can safely be treated in the same session. Key Words: Osteoid osteoma, Nidi, Treatment, Radiofrequency ablation.
