BACKGROUND
Painful peripheral oligoarthritis can reveal ankylosing spondylitis. In some instances, an acral pitting edema can be the sign of this affection.
METHODS
A 39-year-old man, with no significant previous medical history, consulted in a dermatology department for acral pain and edema of both
We report a case of a human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27)-negative patient with cystoid macular edema (CME) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) after treatment with triamcinolone acetonide. The patient complained of deterioration of visual acuity of the right eye during the last 10 days. At
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to assess the relationship between bone marrow edema (BME) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
METHODS
The study included 333 patients with AS who underwent BMD measurements and axial MRI.
Neck pain is common in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We investigated the correlation of bone marrow edema (BME) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in RA and AS and its association with clinical complaints of neck pain.
Cervical spine short-tau inversion recovery-MRI and
The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of bone marrow edema (BME) in sacroiliac joint (SIJ) with clinical characteristics and clinical response, and whether the quick decrease of BME could be served as a novel marker for dose tapering of etanercept in ankylosing spondylitis
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease which affects primarily the sacroiliac joints and the spine. In patients with active disease, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine shows areas of bone marrow edema, the histopathological equivalent of which is unknown. In this
The extent of bone marrow edema seems relevant in assessing the activity of discovertebral destructions in ankylosing spondylitis using highly T2-weighted images. Twenty-one patients showing 32 discovertebral lesions in total were examined by MR-imaging. Radiological progression of destruction is
Histomorphological analysis shows at least two different patterns in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Bone marrow edema, lymphocytic infiltrates, increased osteoclast density and increased microvessel density are typical findings in acute inflammation. In areas of new bone formation newly
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and specific properties of MR imaging-guided corticosteroid infiltration of the sacroiliac (SI) joints in the treatment of therapy-refractory sacroiliitis in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
METHODS
In this study, 26 patients were prospectively included.
A method to estimate the individual ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patient radiological progression of semi-quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes in the sacroiliac joints has not been described yet, which this study examines. Inflammatory disease activity and MRIs of the sacroiliac
OBJECTIVE
To determine the most relevant radiological features in quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of sacroiliac (SI) joints in patients with recent-onset ankylosing spondylitis (AS) versus patients with SI involvement due to other rheumatic diseases, or to degenerative SI
OBJECTIVE
The goal of this prospective study was to determine the prevalence of shoulder abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who have normal shoulder X-ray examinations and no clinical shoulder abnormalities using a case-control
OBJECTIVE
To examine the prevalence and characteristics of shoulder involvement in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). To analyze the sensitivity and specificity of shoulder lesions defined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with AS.
METHODS
Prevalence of shoulder involvement was ascertained
The objective of this study is to evaluate the role of MMP-3 and MRI in assessing disease activity in sacroiliac joints of AS patients in comparison to the conventional measures Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein
OBJECTIVE
The findings of tuberculous spondylitis in MRT have been described extensively. Nevertheless the diagnostic value of both methods in the diagnosis of this severe manifestation of the tuberculous disease was not yet defined definitely.
METHODS
We performed a review of the recent literature
