Teaching NeuroImages: Polymyalgia rheumatica and giant cell arteritis.
A 62-year-old woman presented with 4 months of neck, shoulder, and hip pain, morning stiffness, and elevated inflammatory markers compatible with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). Cervical spine imaging demonstrated ill-defined enhancement in posterior neck soft tissues (figure 1), consistent with interspinous bursitis. She reported right-sided headache. Brain magnetic resonance angiography demonst...
متن کاملGiant cell arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica: usefulness of vascular magnetic resonance imaging studies in the diagnosis of aortitis.
OBJECTIVES One of the unresolved challenges posed in giant cell (temporal) arteritis (GCA) is the detection and monitoring of large-artery complications, particularly aortitis. Recent investigations support vascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies in this issue. We report our preliminary experience with this imaging technique in the study of the aorta and its proximal branches in patie...
متن کاملSubclinical vasculitis in polymyalgia rheumatica.
Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory condition of the aging population characterised by pain, stiVness, and symmetrical involvement of shoulder and pelvic girdles. It has been proposed that the primary site of disease may reside outside the synovial joint, 2 but its aetiopathogenesis remains ill understood. There is good indirect evidence that vasculitis is important in the pathogene...
متن کاملUltrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging changes in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica treated by tocilizumab
BACKGROUND This study assessed inflammatory changes using ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients taking tocilizumab for polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). METHODS Eighteen patients were included in the prospective open-label TENOR study and received three tocilizumab infusions, without corticosteroids. B-mode and power Doppler US and MRI (T1 and T2-short time inversion re...
متن کامل[Magnetic resonance imaging of the joints: a revolution for the practicing rheumatologist].
In the last 15 years, new imaging techniques have changed the life of practicing rheumatologists in terms of both diagnostic approach and knowledge of disease mechanisms. Clinical symptoms, disease signs and the results of physical examination have been more closely related to their anatomical basis. In particular, magnetic resonance imaging allow diagnosis of disease in its early phase and its...
