title = "Bone scintigraphy in costo-iliac impingement syndrome.",
abstract = "Abstract: A syndrome of back pain caused by impingement of the lowest ribs against the iliac crest has been described in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures and loss of height of the patient. A case is presented of an 81-year-old woman with a long history of osteoporosis with compression fractures of several thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. She presented with progressive lower back pain and weight loss. Bone scintigraphy revealed increased uptake in the lower ribs on both sides compatible with the costo-iliac impingement syndrome. There were no signs of bone metastases.",
