Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition disease rarely occurs in the posterior aspect of the craniocervical junction (CCJ). To the best of our knowledge, there have been only 2 ...

The two groups were similar in age. Of the 14 patients classified by ultrasonography as affected with chondrocalcinosis, 13 presented with CPPD crystals in synovial liquid, whereas 2 of the 29 ...

Calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease is one of the two main crystal-related arthropathies associated with gout and one of the most common inflammatory joint diseases.1 It involves the ...

Two months later, she developed acute synovitis in the right ankle (synovial fluid containing CPPD crystals and 39 090 nucleated cells/μL, but cultures were negative). She was found to have ...

Gout and “pseudogout” — known formally as calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease (CPPD) — have such similar symptoms that it usually takes a microscope to know for sure what you’ve ...

We found 2 types of CPPD crystal deposits with few transitional forms. First, small collections of crystals were seen at the border of the territorial matrix at the articular and subarticular ...

Pseudogout comes on suddenly and causes intense pain in one or more joints. Calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease, commonly called “pseudogout,” is a painful form of arthritis that comes on ...

Methods This cross-sectional analysis included patients with gout meeting the 2015 ACR/EULAR classification criteria and patients with crystal-proven diagnosis of CPPD. Hyaline cartilages were ...
