We describe a patient with acute calcific periarthritis in an unusual site, the ilio-femoral ligament. The clinical findings in this patient resembled those of septic arthritis. T2*-weighted images with gradient field echo clearly showed foci of low signal intensity in this region, corresponding to the calcification shown on plain radiographs, and increased signal intensity around the foci, representing edema. These signal intensities were diagnostic of the disease.
我们描述了一名在不寻常部位——髂股韧带发生急性钙化性关节炎的患者。该患者的临床表现类似于化脓性关节炎。梯度回波T2*加权图像清楚地显示了该区域的低信号强度病灶,对应于X线平片上显示的钙化,病灶周围信号强度增加,代表水肿。这些信号强度可用于诊断该疾病。
