    Author: Cidem M, Capkin E, Karkucak M, Karaca A.
    Journal: Mod Rheumatol; 2012 Jun; 22(3):467-9. PubMed ID: 21947864.
    Abstract:
    Osteitis condensans ilii (OCI) is a benign pathology causing chronic back and hip pain. Although the definitive cause is uncertain, mechanical stress is a significant factor in the development of the disease. Bilateral involvement of the sacroiliac joint is typical. We describe a case of unilateral OCI with unilateral sclerosis observed at radiography in a 34-year-old patient presenting with chronic back and hip pain, together with a review of the literature.
