Such exostoses grow over several years. Exostoses are more common in the maxilla posterior region along the maxillary tuberosity, called palatal exostoses.

Article Synopsis
  • - Osteitis condensans ilii (OCI) is a rare, benign cause of lower back pain mainly seen in women, often mistaken for sacroiliac joint issues, but it typically resolves on its own after childbirth.
  • - Osteitis pubis is an inflammatory condition causing pain in the pubic area, often resulting from trauma, surgery, or intense physical activity, and can occur alongside OCI.
  • - A case study involving a 21-year-old female highlights the use of MRI to diagnose both OCI and osteitis pubis, showing distinct imaging characteristics, but no specific treatment exists—only lifestyle changes may help manage symptoms and prevent recurrence.
