Abstract
Emphysematous osteomyelitis is a rare entity with potentially devastating consequences, even after prompt and aggressive intervention. It is characterized by intraosseous gas and may be complicated by adjacent abscess formation. There are a handful of previously reported cases of emphysematous osteomyelitis, but none to the degree as reported here. Specifically, we report an extremely rare case of extensive multifocal emphysematous osteomyelitis involving both the axial and appendicular skeleton in a 20-year-old woman.
