WBMRI is helpful in pediatric rheumatology for the differential diagnosis of undefined inflammatory conditions. It appears to be a promising tool, especially in the detection of multifocal bone lesions. The diagnosis that mainly benefits from WBMRI in our series is chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis. WBMRI can also help in excluding neoplastic diseases.
