Özet:

 

Objective: To determine alterations of the soft tissues, tendons, cartilage, joint spaces, and bones of the foot using magnetic resonance  MR  imaging in patients with Behcet’s disease  BD . Materials and methods: Clinical and MR examination of the foot was performed in 25 consecutive patients  50 ft  with BD. As a control group, 15 healthy volunteers  30 ft  were also studied. Joint effusion/synovitis, retrocalcaneal bursitis, Achilles tendinopathy, soft-tissue edema, para-articular enthesophytes, bone marrow edema, sinus tarsi syndrome, heel fat pad edema, enthesopathy at the Achilles attachment and at the plantar fascia attachment, tenosynovitis, subchondral cysts, bone erosions, joint space narrowing, subchondral signal changes, osteolysis, luxation, and sub-luxation were examined. Results: Clinical signs and symptoms  pain and swelling  of foot involvement were present in 20%  5/25  of the patients while frequency of involvement was 52%  13/25  by MR imaging. The most common MR imaging findings were joint effusion/synovitis  28% , tenosynovitis  24% , retrocalcaneal bursitis  24% ,enthesopathy in the plantar fascia attachment  20% , Achilles tendinopathy  16% , sinus tarsi syndrome  16% , heel fat pad edema  16% , and soft-tissue edema  12% . The most commonly involved anatomical region was the hindfoot  36%  followed by midfoot  24% , ankle  16%  and forefoot  4% . Conclusion: In conclusion, in this MR imaging study, we found a high prevalence of foot involvement in BD. We believe that foot involvement, being extremely important in the differential diagnosis of rheumatic diseases tend to be overlooked. Therefore, careful examination of the foot is required in the evaluation of BD, even if the patient has no complaints.
