The Van Neck-Odelberg osteochondritis is a rare disease that affects the ischiopubic synchondrosis. We evaluated four school-age children with complaints of acute pain in the left hip. Radiographs showed a change in the ischiopubic synchondrosis. The cases were confirmed with MRI. All cases were treated with walking withno weight bearing on the affected limb for two to four weeks with complete improvement of symptoms.
