Osteitis condensans ilii (OCI) is a benign cause of chronic low back pain whereby there is sacroiliac joint sclerosis of unknown pathophysiology. It can also be asymptomatic. It almost exclusively affects females, often following pregnancy.
Pathophysiology
Unknown. Suspected to be mechanical.
Clinical Features
Chronic sacral spinal pain.
Imaging
On AP plain films there is a well defined triangular area of sclerosis on the iliac aspect of the bilateral sacroiliac joints. The joint space is relatively well preserved.
On MRI there is extensive sclerosis especially on the iliac side of the sacroiliac joints.
Differential Diagnosis
The most important differential is axial sponyloarthritis.
