Abstract

47 yaşında kadın hasta COVID-19 şüphesiyle polikliniğe başvurmuştur. Hastanın ateş, ağrı ve anosmi gibi spesifik olmayan semptomları vardır. Aile hekimi Enfluvir, D vitamini, etol-fort tb reçete etmiştir. İlaç tedavisinden sonra bitmeyen ağrıları nedeniyle tekrar kliniğe gelmiştir. İlk başvurduğu aile hekimi, hastanın en az iki buçuk yıldır otururken ağrılarının olduğunu ve son zamanlarda ağrı kesici kullanmasına rağmen ağrılarının daha fazla olduğunu söylemesi üzerine sakroiliak bölge için Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme istemiştir. Sakroiliak eklemin kontrastsız MRG'sine göre: "eklem yüzeyleri düzensizlik ve daralma gösterir. Yağ baskılı aksiyel ve koroner sekanslarda sağda posteriorda daha belirgin eklem yüzeylerinde fokal kemik iliği ödemi ve sakroiliit aktivasyonu mevcuttur. Kesitler içerisinde sağ adneksa 8 cm'lik kistik görünümdedir. MR ve alt batın USG önerilmektedir.". Romatoloji ve jinekoloji konsültasyonları ile birlikte laboratuvar ve ayrıca IV kontrastlı pelvis MRG ve ultrasonografi planlandı.

Abstract

47 years old woman had applied to the outpatient clinic as she was suspicious because of COVID-19. The patient has non-specific symptoms such as fever, pain, and anosmia. The family physician has prescribed Enfluvir, vitamin D, etol-fort tb . After the medication, she has come to the clinic again because of the not finished pain. The family physician that the first one consulted has ordered Magnetic Resonance Imagining for the sacroiliac region as the patient told that the pain when she was sitting for at least two and half years and nowadays her pain was more although she was taking her painkillers. According to the non-contrast, MRI of the sacroiliac joint: “ joint surfaces exhibit irregularity and narrowing. In the posterior, more prominent articular surfaces on the right in the fat-suppressed axial and coronary sequences, there is focal bone marrow edema and sacroiliitis activation. The right adnexa within the sections showed an 8 cm cystic appearance. MRI and USG of the lower abdomen are advised.”. The lab and also with IV contrast, MRI of the pelvis, and ultrasonography were planned with the rheumatology and gynecology consultations.
