Best Practice Case Studies-Spondyloarthropathy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

A 21-year-old female with lumbosacral spondylolisthesis presents with right shoulder pain and possible HLA-B27 spondyloarthropathy. MRI shows soft tissue edema in the shoulder and joint effusion in the ankle. The patient also exhibits spondylolisthesis at L5-S1 due to a bilateral pars defect. Another case discusses ankylosing spondylitis, which affects males aged 15-35, with the spine and sacroiliac joints hit first, later impacting peripheral joints like hips and shoulders. Imaging shows typical signs such as sacroiliitis, vertebral body squaring, bamboo spine, and enthesitis, indicating advanced inflammation and ossification.
