Cervical interspinous bursitis in active polymyalgia rheumatica.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the inflammatory involvement of cervical interspinous bursae in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) using MRI. METHODS In all, 12 consecutive, untreated new patients with PMR were investigated. Five patients with fibromyalgia, two patients with cervical osteoarthritis and six patients with spondyloarthritis with neck pain served as controls. MRI of the cervical sp...
متن کاملThe clinical implication of cervical interspinous bursitis in the diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica.
Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a relatively common inflammatory condition characterised by pain, aching and morning stiffness involving the shoulder and hip girdles and the neck. 2 Patients are generally older than 50 years and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are usually elevated. PMR may occur as an isolated disease or it may be observed in the setting of...
متن کاملInterspinous bursitis is common in polymyalgia rheumatica, but is not associated with spinal pain
INTRODUCTION Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a common inflammatory disease in older people characterized by shoulder and/or pelvic girdle, and cervical and, occasionally, lumbar pain. Interspinous bursitis has been suggested as a potential cause of spinal symptoms. We evaluated, by 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography integrated with computed tomography (PET/CT), the verte...
متن کاملResponse to ‘Interspinous bursitis is common in polymyalgia rheumatica, but is not associated with spinal pain’
In a recent contribution to this journal,Camellino and colleagues [1] reported that asymptomatic inflammation of the interspinous bursas is a common occurrence in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica. Thus, they confirm the findings of three other studies which found florid inflammation (which was felt to be symptomatic) at these sites between the spinous processes of adjacent vertebrae. Why wo...
متن کاملInterspinous bursitis in an athlete.
We present a case of L2/3 interspinous bursitis treated with extraspinal injections. No previous investigations have used fluoroscopically guided spinal injections to confirm the clinical relevance of the MRI features of this type of bursae. Autopsy studies have revealed an increased incidence of interspinous lumbar bursal cavities with advancing age. Afflicted patients present with localised, ...
