Garre's sclerosing osteomyelitis is a type of chronic osteomyelitis also called periostitis ossificans[1] and Garré's sclerosing osteomyelitis.
It is a rare disease.[2] It mainly affects children and young adults.[3] It is associated with a low grade infection, which may be due to dental caries (cavities in the teeth).[citation needed]
The body of the mandible may show irregular lucent/opaque changes with subperiosteal opaque layering along inferior border. It is a chronic osteomyelitis with subperiosteal bone and collagen deposition. There is no suppuration and sinus formation. It was first described by the Swiss surgeon Carl Garré.[citation needed]
