Pyrophosphate arthropathy in hypophosphatasia.
The association of hypophosphatasia and pyrophosphate arthropathy in an adult patient has been described on 1 previous occasion. We report a further 2 patients with this disease combination. One patient suffers from the type of hypophosphatasia that presents in adult life, with fractures that are either spontaneous or the result of minimal trauma. The other patient suffered from the severe type...
متن کاملPyrophosphate arthropathy--recent clinical advances.
It is now 20 years since McCarty et al. identified calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals in synovial fluid from patients with acute arthritis and radiological chondrocalcinosis.' CPPD crystals were subsequently shown to be inflammatory both in vivo and in vitro2 and their causal role in joint disease, reflected by the term 'CPPD crystal-induced synovitis', was readily accepted. Cadave...
متن کاملCalcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) deposition in ochronotic arthropathy.
The post-mortem examination of an unsuspected case of alkaptonuria revealed extensive ochronosis. Histological examination of undecalcified sections of tracheal, costal, femoral and patellar cartilage revealed, in addition to ochronotic pigment, extensive calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) deposition. Similar deposits were present in intervertebral discs and were related to ossification of ...
متن کاملPyrophosphate arthropathy in the carpal and metacarpophalangeal joints.
The hand x-rays of group of patients with generalised osteoarthrosis alone were compared with those patients with generalised osteoarthrosis and chondrocalcinosis (CC). An arthropathy seemingly specific for CC could be identified in the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and carpal joints. In the MCP joints it was characterised by subchondral rarefactions, deviation of the joint axis, joint space narrow...
متن کاملPyrophosphate arthropathy: a clinical and radiological study of 105 cases.
105 consecutive patients who presented to a rheumatologist because of joint disease and who also had evidence of deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPD) were studied clinically and radiologically. There were 76 women (mean age 73) and 29 men (mean age 62). Of only 18 patients below the age of 60 at presentation 12 were men. The majority of the younger male group suffered from acute ...
