Abstrakt: A case is presented of anaerobic osteomyelitis with intraosseous pneumatosis resulting in extension of gas in soft tissue structures and femur in a patient with mitral valve vegetation and bacteremia. The finding of intraosseous pneumatosis and its extension into the hip joint, iliopsoas bursa and subgluteus medius bursa is depicted.
