Abstract
- Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a rare, but serious complication, which has recently been more frequently reported. However, this entity is unfamiliar to radiologists. We report a case of BRONJ complicated by actinomycosis following a tooth extraction in a 68-year-old woman who has been treated with oral bisphosphonate for treatment of osteoporosis over the last 3 years and 3 months.
