Destructive Arthropathy in Chondrocalcinosis: A Case Report

Bruce C. Richardson, Harry K. Genant

Abstract

ABSTRAGT: A case of Chondrocalcinosis with unusually severe destruction of the ankle joint, as well as erosions in the knees, hands and shoulders, is presented. The role of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals in destructive arthropathy is discussed, with the recommendation that in cases of chondrocalcinosis with destructive arthropathy, examination for conditions leading to deposit of CPPD crystals should be considered.
