Abstract

Case one had the aspect of an ivory C5 vertebra. Bone metastasis was suspected but scintigraphy showed the characteristic “bullhead” appearance. Case two had an MRI simulating infectious spondylodiscitis but scintigraphy confirmed SAPHO. Case three had the aspect of vertebral metastasis but scintigraphy eliminated malignancy and confirmed SAPHO.
