"   Question This enquiry is on behalf of my friend, who has been diagnosed with osteitis condensans ilii. Apparently it is quite rare and she was advised to find out more about this condition via the internet! Can you help?   Answer It&amp;#039;s not surprising that your friend has found it difficult to obtain information about osteitis condensans ilii. There isn&amp;#039;t a great deal of information. The condition often mimics an inflammation of the sacroiliac joint (between the pelvis and the base of the spinal column), which may be detectable on plain X-rays of the pelvis. These conditions can be accurately diagnosed by a CT scan, but are very difficult to distinguish on the basis of symptoms alone. Neither condition is detectable by a blood test. Your friend should discuss her condition in depth with the specialist rheumatologist.
