What is microgeodic disease?

A geode is defined as a small hollow rock. The term microgeodic was coined by a French radiologist Maroteaux to describe the x-ray finding of very small (< 1mm) punched out lacunar-like osteolytic lesions (radiographic holes) in the small bones of the fingers of infants affected by this condition [1].
