AbstractAbstract
[en] A case of insufficiency fracture of the sacrum is reported. These fractures usually occur in elderly women and are secondary to various conditions, mainly postmenopausal or steroid-induced osteoporosis and radiation therapy. They are often overlooked or confused clinically and radiographically with metastatic disease. Findings on plain films are often subtle. Radionuclide bone scan shows a characteristic H or butterfly shaped pattern of increased uptake in the sacral alae. The diagnosis is confirmed by conventional tomograms or CT which show the fracture always surrounded by prominent sclerosis

Une observation de fracture sacree osteoporotique est rapportee. D'individualisation tres recente et souvent meconnues, les fractures sacrees par ''insuffisance'' se produisent sur un os porotique ou irradie chez des femmes agees. Leur symptomatologie clinique et radiologique peut preter a confusion avec une lesion maligne. Sur les radiographies standards, les signes sont habituellement discrets. Le diagnostic est base sur la scintigraphie osseuse qui montre une hyperfixation caracteristique des deux ailerons sacres en ''ailes de papillon''. Les tomographies conventionnelles ou la tomodensitometrie mettent en evidence la fracture qui est toujours entouree d'une importante condensation osseuseOriginal Title
