Bone and joint changes in haemochromatosis.

Although clinical cases of polyarthritis thought to be due to haemochromatosis are on record (Schumacher, 1964), the patients often have only joint symptoms, and these are attributed to osteoarthritis until a radiograph demonstrates the features which we wish to emphasize. In a similar fashion the osteoporosis is said to be latent. Chondrocalcinosis has acquired a specific connotation-

This report details seven patients who had an arthropathy at presentation of their haemochromatosis. The spectrum ranged from arthralgia and normal radiographs to classic polyarthritis and the typical radiological triad of joint-space narrowing, sclerosis and cysts. Some atypical presentations are highlighted. An early diagnosis of haemochromatosis requires clinical suspicion; support can be ob...

Introduction: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are among the most prevalent abnormalities of the jaw, which affect the masticatory system, including the muscles, TMJ, and tendons. Clinical examination alone cannot determine the cause of temporomandibular disorder (TMD). In most cases, the cause of TMD and a proper treatment plan are determined based on imaging modalities. The present stu...
