Following ileostomy reversal, he complained of intense, unremitting anorectal pain. After repeated scans, computed tomography (CT) showed findings suggestive of a longstanding anastomotic leak. Subsequent, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed osteomyelitis of the sacrum, with the development of sacral osteomyelitis in this context unusual. Our case highlights the importance of appropriate radiological imaging and that clinicians should consider osteomyelitis as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with severe anorectal pain after treatment for rectal cancer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/omcr\/omac037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,21]],"date-time":"2022-04-21T09:24:28Z","timestamp":1650533068000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Sacral
