Syringomyelia is uncommonly revealed by a neuropathic arthropathy (Charcot joint) and characterised by its slow progression with late neurological symptoms. In this particular field, neuropathic arthropathies mainly affect the shoulders and the elbows.We report a new case of neuropathic arthropathy of the wrist caused by syringomyelia, because of the rarity of this condition as well as its uncommon location.Neuropathic arthropathy caused by syringomyelia is poorly published in the literature. This atypical entity should be considered in case of Charcot arthropathy associated with neurological loss, especially when it affects the upper limbs.
脊髓空洞症很少表现为神经病理性关节病(夏科关节),其特征为进展缓慢,晚期出现神经症状。在这个特定领域,神经病理性关节病主要影响肩部和肘部。我们报告了一例由脊髓空洞症引起的腕部神经病理性关节病新病例,因为这种情况非常罕见,而且其位置也不常见。文献中很少报道脊髓空洞症引起的神经病理性关节病。在出现与神经损伤相关的夏科关节炎,尤其是当它影响上肢时,应考虑这种非典型疾病。
