Tomographic examinations of sacroiliac joints in adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis. 1979

M Elhabali, and O Scherak, and G Seidl, and G Kolarz

Tomography of the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) was performed in 72 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and in 50 controls. Twenty-seven rheumatoid patients (38%) showed typical sacroilitis with predominantly severe intraarticular ankylosis and subchondral erosions. Fourteen patients (19%) had a probable sacroilitis with mild erosions and intraarticular ankylosis and concomitant degenerative changes. Fifteen patients (21%) showed predominantly degenerative changes and 16 RA patients (22%) had no radiological manifestation of the SIJ. There was no relation between typical sacroilitis and age of patients, duration of disease, rheumatoid factor, Steinbrocker's stage and frequency of HLA B27.
