Chondrocalcinosis, or cartilage calcification, is a common condition that usually results from deposition of crystals of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) in articular hyaline and fibro-cartilage. This handbook provides a comprehensive insight into how imaging techniques should be applied to particular clinical problems and how the results can be used to determine the diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal conditions. Diagnosis certain. It is commonly present in patients with CPPD crystal deposition disease but is neither absolutely specific for CPP nor universal among affected patients. The presence of crystal deposits (chondrocalcinosis or tophi) indicates one of the crystalline arthropathies. Found inside – Page 58Under the designation of chondrocalcinosis articularis , Aschoff et al . ( 1966 ) described a family with four ... Calcified hyaline and fibrous cartilages are demonstrable by X - ray , particularly in large joints . In articular cartilage a dense narrow ... Basic calcium phosphate crystals have been shown to provoke inflammatory and cartilage-damaging responses, similar to monosodium urate crystals in gout, and are implicated in Milwaukee shoulder syndrome 6 . However, it is unclear whether chondrocalcinosis predisposes to higher risks of progression of arthritis in other compartments. Calcium Pyrophosphate Dihydrate Deposition (CPDD) disease has characteristic radiographic features including soft tissue calcification, joint space narrowing, bone sclerosis, subchondral cyst formation without osteophyte formation, and large intraosseous geodes.

Know the causes, signs, symptoms, treatment, home remedies, exercises, recovery and prognosis of Chondrocalcinosis. There are several factors that may influence the diagnostic value of CR in detecting CC: localization of calcium deposits, significant cartilage loss or the technique used [ 8 ]. Tests may be needed to rule out other causes. Methods: This […] Methods and materials: 227 patients with radiological evidence of calcifications on knee or wrist radiographs had a head CT scan obtained for unrelated purposes. Soft tissue calcifications are usually caused by one of the following six entities. Pyrophosphate arthropathy: Specific pattern of structural joint damage that occurs from CPPD crystal deposition in intraarticular and paraarticular locations. Generalized chondrocalcinosis and pseudogout in turn are commonly noted in association with hemochromatosis, which may itself be asymptomatic and clinically unsuspected.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of TMJ chondrocalcinosis on head CT scans in patients with chondrocalcinosis of the knee or wrist. Of the 12 instances in which the radiology reports mentioned CC, this observation was never (0/12) transmitted to the medical history or problem list. Chondrocalcinosis of the knee is a common radiological finding in the elderly. Chondrocalcinosis (overall and hyaline cartilage) as well as gastrocnemius tendon calcification positively correlated with the diagnosis of CPPD over gout … In subjects with joint aspiration-proven crystal disease of the knee, the radiographic finding of cartilage icing was seen in both gout and CPPD.

X-rays (radiology) may be helpful. 1. X-ray. Chondrocalcinosis becomes increasingly frequent with advancing age such that it can be found in 20% of the population aged in excess of 60 years. Chondrocalcinosis (literally calcification of the cartilage) is a term used to describe the radiological appearance of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition within either fibrocartilage (e.g. This mnemonic has been commonly used to recall the differential diagnosis of chondrocalcinosis, the most common cause of which is pseudogout (calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease). Our results show decreased sensitivity, speci-ficity, and accuracy of MR imaging for diagnos-ing meniscal tear in the presence of chondrocalcinosis. Today the study of the hand concerns only 2%-4% of the activity of radiology. It nevertheless reveals an amazing quantity and variety of pathology. That is the reason for this work.

The prevalence of chondrocalcinosis is reported to be 5.0-14.6% and increases with age [ 15, 16 ]. The deposits cause irritation that lead to inflammation and cartilage damage. Chondrocalcinosis is the term employed to describe a chronic articular disease characterized by: (a) acute, intermittent attacks of joint pain and inflammation; (b) the presence of a specific crystalline material in the synovial fluid, cartilage, and periarticular soft tissue; (c) a typical roentgenographic appearance of calcium deposition in the articular cartilage of the involved joints.

A family study of a patient with chondrocalcinosis (pseudogout syndrome) revealed characteristic abnormal joint calcifications and a clinical picture suggestive of pseudogout in two siblings, while less specific calcifications were noted in a third sibling and two daughters. The calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease (CPPD) is a disorder that occasionally affects the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and is characterized by the presence of crystals in the intra-articular and peri-articular tissues. Soft Tissue Calcifications. Meniscal calcifications can be due to trauma, degenerative disease or underlying crystal arthropathies such as calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease.. Patients with AC joint CC were more likely to have a recorded history of CPPD crystal disease than those without AC joint CC (14% versus 1%, p=0.0017 Fischer's exact). J Radiol.

These findings confirm Resnick's belief that “cartilage calcification, or chondrocalcinosis is an important radiographic sign of CPDD, but it need not be evident in an involved joint or, for that matter, in any articulation of the body” (Resnick and Utsinger, 1974). Found insideThis arthropathy results from the deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals in and around joints, mostly in hyaline cartilage and ... Presence of crystals is not an evidence of absence of infection. Ann Rheum Dis 66:1126–1128 [ 16] reported an estimated prevalence of chondrocalcinosis of 10%.

Found inside – Page 973The absence of chondrocalcinosis in conventional radiography does not exclude the diagnosis of CPPD, especially during an acute event. Radiology and Ultrasonography Findings in Chondrocalcinosis CPP crystals preferentially deposit in fibrocartilages such as the knee menisci and symphysis pubis (SP). CHONDROCALCINOSIS IN ELDERLY MICHAEL H. ELLMAN Fifty-eight elderly people were surveyed for chondrocalcinosis with knee, hip and pelvic roent- genograms using Type M industrial x-ray film. Epidemiology The prevalence may be as high as 5-6% 1.. Chondrocalcinosis appeared as a high-signal-intensity region on T1-weighted, intermediate-weighted, and inversion recovery sequences. The three cases of idiopathic medial femoral condyle necrosis, presenting to this hospital over a five-year period, are reported. But articular chondrocalcinosis, as has been shown by a large number of clinical and radiological surveys, may present a wide range of atypical or misleading forms, much different from the classic pseudogout. Clin Exp Rheumatol. Anyoneof these features may bepresent in a given case,or they may coexist in any combination. Crystal arthropathy of the lumbar facet joint is a rare but benign differential diagnosis of spondylodiscitis. W – Wilson disease. Matching was performed using an optimal matching algorithm, a computer-based program which allows random matching of the cases to controls using the user-written ‘optmatch2’ command. The high signal of chondrocalcinosis on inversion recovery sequence is an interesting observation that to our knowledge has not been previously reported. Chondrocalcinosis of ankle AND/OR foot (442941002); Chondrocalcinosis of joint of ankle AND/OR foot (442941002) Recent clinical studies. However, visualization of chondrocalcinosis may be difficult in patients with advanced cartilage loss. Diagnosis of CPPD is challenging because clinical symptoms and imaging features are not characteristic and may mimic a chondrosarcoma. Diagnosis certain.
