Abstract
In this case report, we describe an "uncommon" case of axial gouty arthropathy in a 69-year-old woman with bilateral sciatica that was thoroughly evaluated with conventional radiography, CT scan, magnetic resonance imaging, bone scintigraphy, and PET-CT. Axial gouty arthropathy should be included in the differential diagnosis of chronic low back pain, mainly when several risk factors for gout are present.
期刊介绍:
Under the editorial leadership of Professor Arnulf Skjennald MD and a distinguished editorial board, Acta Radiologica Open, formerly Acta Radiologica Short Reports, aims for the prompt publication of original case reports, short reports, review articles, pictorial reviews, research articles on diagnostic and interventional radiology, clinical radiology, experimental investigations in animals, and all other research related to imaging procedures. Acta Radiologica Open provides a complete update on all radiological specialties and technical utilities, as well as physiology and physics related to imaging, including ultrasonography, computed tomography, radionuclide and magnetic resonance imaging. Acta Radiologica Open publishes articles on diagnostic and interventional procedures in radiology based on all medical imaging techniques, as well as works in physiology and physics when related to radiology. The journal is an online-only, peer reviewed, open access journal.
