Abstract

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) which is the most common cause of sacroiliitis, can also be seen in trauma, infection, malignancies and crystal arthropathies. Axial skeletal manifestation is expected in chronic gout, manifestation in the sacroiliac joint is even less common. The expected age range for gout-related sacroiliitis is 45-80, and it is extremely rare under the age of 40. The case we present is the youngest case in the literature and it is important to remind other causes of sacroiliitis etiology other than SpA.

Kronik tofüslü gut ve sakroiliit birlikteliği: bir olgu sunumu

Abstract

Sakroiliitin en sık nedeni spondiloartritler(SpA) olsa da travma, enfeksiyon, maligniteler ve kristal artropatilerde de görülebilir. Axial iskelet tutulumu süregen gutta beklense de sakroiliak eklem bölgesinde tutulum daha da nadirdir. Gut ilişkili sakroiliit için beklenen yaş aralığı 45-80 olmakla beraber 40 yaşın altında oldukça nadirdir. Sunduğumuz olgu literatürdeki en genç olgu olmakla beraber sakroiliit etiyolojisinde SpA dışındaki nedenleri hatırlatması açısından önemlidir.
