The diagnosis can be delayed compared to other skeletal locations. CT scan is the key helping lead to the diagnosis. Clinical case A six-year-old girl presented to our clinic with a chronic back pain evolving for several months and alleviated with non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). Physical examination revealed pain on palpation of the sacrum but no signs of neurological deficits. Biology tests and X-rays of the pelvis were normal. CT scan revealed a 0.3 cm nidus at the center of the reactive bone sclerosis. MRI revealed a subtle signal intensity change in the sacral region and confirmed a compression of the left S2 root. The lesion was completely excised under general anesthesia. Histopathology exam confirmed the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma. At 3 years FU, there were no signs of reccurence and the patient was asymptomatic. Conclusion: Osteoid osteoma is a relatively frequent benign bone tumor of osteoblastic origin. The sacral localization is exceptionnel. The diagnosis should be referred to as having a low back pain in an infant. CT scan and/or MRI allow visualizing the lesion and its extent to the neural elements. Surgical excision is an effective technique. ) [rank_math_internal_links_processed] => Array ( [0] => 1 ) [ple-content_has_sections] => Array ( [0] => ) [_eael_post_view_count] => Array ( [0] => 16 ) [trx_addons_post_views_count] => Array ( [0] => 14 ) [ekit_post_views_count] => Array ( [0] => 14 ) [trx_addons_post_likes_count] => Array ( [0] => 0 ) )
