Preoperative /sup 111/In-labeled leukocyte scintigraphy demonstrated extensive subperiosteal abscesses complicating acute bilateral tibial osteomyelitis in a child. Plain radiographs showed only marked soft-tissue swelling; three-phase bone scintigraphy depicted both hot and cold areas consistent with acute osteomyelitis.
