Osteitis condensans ilii masquerading as sacroiliitis: a case report of an underdiagnosed condition
OCI should be considered in patients with chronic low back pain to prevent unnecessary immunosuppressive therapy. Conservative management with physiotherapy, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and short-term muscle relaxants can provide significant symptomatic improvement, though complete resolution may require longer follow-up and adherence to rehabilitation measures. The overall prognosis is favorable.
