Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic multisystemic vasculitis that may emerge with musculoskeletal system involvements, oral-genital recurrent aphthae, mucocutaneous lesions, and ocular symptoms. Arthritis in BD is usually non-erosive and not related to crippling disease. Erosive arthropathy is a very rare manifestation of BD.
Herein, we present a 60-year-old male patient suffering from BD for 33 years with erosive arthritis in his second metacarpophalangeal joint. After we assessed his finger by X-ray, we diagnosed erosive arthropathy quickly by musculoskeletal ultrasonography. In addition, a systematic literature search was performed via the PubMed and Scopus databases using the keywords, 'Behçet's disease [AND] erosive/destructive arthritis'.
Erosive arthritis due to BD can be evaluated by ultrasonography in an easy, fast and cost-effective manner. The literature search between 1985 and December 2019 revealed a total of 19 patients with peripheral erosive arthropathy related to BD and the characteristics of the results are summarized in the paper.
白塞病(BD)是一种慢性多系统血管炎,可伴有肌肉骨骼系统受累、口腔生殖器复发性口疮、皮肤黏膜病变及眼部症状。白塞病中的关节炎通常无侵蚀性,与致残性疾病无关。侵蚀性关节病是白塞病非常罕见的一种表现。
在此,我们报告一名60岁男性患者,患白塞病33年,第二掌指关节出现侵蚀性关节炎。在我们通过X线对其手指进行评估后,通过肌肉骨骼超声检查迅速诊断为侵蚀性关节病。此外,通过PubMed和Scopus数据库,使用关键词“白塞病[与]侵蚀性/破坏性关节炎”进行了系统的文献检索。
白塞病所致的侵蚀性关节炎可通过超声检查以简便、快速且经济有效的方式进行评估。1985年至2019年12月的文献检索共发现19例与白塞病相关的外周侵蚀性关节病患者,结果特征总结于本文。
