The magnetic resonance imaging features of the wrist of a patient suffering from the arthropathy of haemochromatosis are presented. It is apparent that the deposition of iron within the bone marrow is focal in origin and may be associated with cyst formation. In addition, changes in serum ferritin levels with treatment suggest that the deposition is irreversible. Studies of two other patients with haemochromatosis without cyst formation in the wrists did not yield similar artefacts, in spite of having high ferritin levels and arthritis.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images.

D006432 Hemochromatosis A disorder of iron metabolism characterized by a triad of HEMOSIDEROSIS; LIVER CIRRHOSIS; and DIABETES MELLITUS. It is caused by massive iron deposits in parenchymal cells that may develop after a prolonged increase of iron absorption.
