Brodie's abscess
 
Brodie's abscess is a special form of chronic osteomyelitis which arises insidously, without a preceding acute attack.
 
There is localized abscess within the bone, often near the site of the metaphysis of long hones.
 
Common sites are upper end of the tibia and lower end of the femur.
 
A deep 'boring* pain is the predominant symptom.
 
Pain may become worse at night. Radiographically, the lesion is seen as a circular or oval cavity surrounded by a zone of sclerosis,
 
Treatment is by operation.
 
Surgical evacuation and curretage is performed with or without bone grafting.
