Popis: To report a single center’s experience evaluating the efficacy and safety of computed tomography–guided radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of osteoid osteoma in children. Institutional database research identified 33 symptomatic patients (≤ 18 years of age; male/female ratio: 21/12, mean age 13.09 ± 3.66) with osteoid osteoma who were treated by CT-guided RFA. Technical and clinical success as well as complication rates were recorded. The duration of the procedure, the number of computed tomography scans and the results of the biopsy were assessed. Pain, prior, the following morning and 1 week, 1/6/12 months after the procedure were compared by means of a numeric visual scale (NVS) questionnaire. Mean lesion size was 8.28 ± 4.24 mm. Mean follow-up was 23.33 ± 17.61 months (range 12–62). Mean pain score prior to radiofrequency ablation was 9.06 ± 0.80 NVS units. On week 1 and 1/6/12 months, all patients were pain-free reporting 0 NVS units (p
