SummaryA 66-year-old man affected by polyostotic form of fibrous dysplasia in consequence of worsening of lower extremity bone pain aggravated by walking and concomitant increase of serum alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin, was subjected first to a radionuclide study. Bone scan demonstrated a pathological uptake of the radiotracer in the craniofacial bones, right scapula, left and right posterior ribs, right hemipelvis and lower extremities confirming the diagnosis but establishing especially the extent of bone involvement, greater than expected on the basis of symptoms and X-ray findings, underlying the importance of nuclear medicine imaging in the assessment and follow-up of this rare disease.

<p><span>McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is an extremely rare disorder that classically affects the bones, skin and endocrine system. Classical features are fibrous dysplasia of bone, skin pigmentation and dysfunction of certain endocrine glands. Diagnosis of MAS is usually established on clinical grounds. Different imaging modalities help to confirm the fibrous dysplasia, among those radio iso-tope bone scan is an excellent tool for early diagnosis and evaluation of bony extension.</span></p><p><span>Bangladesh J.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of studies on the etiology of femoral head necrosis. We retrospectively reviewed all patients diagnosed with aseptic necrosis of the femoral in the period of 2010-2015. We recorded a total of 230 cases diagnosed with aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, group was composed of 65.7% men and 34.3% women, risk factors identified was 19.13% (post-traumatic), 13.91% (glucocorticoids), 26.52% (alcohol), 3.47% (another cause) and in 36 95% of the cases no risk factors were found. The results of the study based on the type of surgery performed on the basis of stages of disease progression, 8 patients (3.48%) benefited from osteotomy, 28 patients (12.17%) benefited of bipolar hemiarthroplasty prosthesis and 188 patients (81.74%) benefited of total hip arthroplasty. Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is characteristic to young patients between the age of 30-50 years old. Predisposing factors, alcohol and corticosteroid therapy remains an important cause of the disease. Total hip arthroplasty remains the best option for the patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
