Radionuclide synovectomy – essentials for rheumatologists
Radionuclide synovectomy is a minimally invasive method of treating persistent joint inflammation. It involves intra-articular injection of radioactive colloids which induce necrosis and fibrosis of hypertrophic synovial membrane. The most common indication for radiosynovectomy is rheumatoid arthritis, although patients with seronegative spondyloarthropathies, unclassified arthritis, haemophili...
متن کاملPlant thorn synovitis. Resolution following total synovectomy.
Our experience of five children with chronic thorn synovitis indicates that removal of free thorn fragments and all the macroscopically abnormal synovium is required in order to achieve a complete cure. Four children required total synovectomy for diffuse proliferative synovitis and one needed partial synovectomy of the area immediately around the embedded thorn. Joint washouts and partial syno...
متن کاملComparison of extraarticular leakage values of radiopharmaceuticals used for radionuclide synovectomy.
OBJECTIVES Radionuclide synovectomy is a reliable therapy in patients with chronic synovitis. However, radiation doses delivered to non-target organ systems due to leakage of radioactive material from the articular cavity are an important disadvantage of this procedure. In this study we compared extraarticular leakage values of the 3 commonly used radiopharmaceuticals; 90Y-citrate, 90Y-silicate...
متن کاملConus Medullaris Syndrome following Radionuclide Cisternography
Radionuclide cisternography is generally considered to be a safe procedure without significant neurological complications. However, in this report we present a patient who developed conus medullaris syndrome following radionuclide cisternography. A 46-year-old woman underwent lumbar puncture followed by radionuclide cisternography with the diagnosis of hydrocephalus. After the cisternography, s...
