[The radiological and scintigraphic findings in psoriatic arthropathy (author's transl)].
The radiological and scintigraphic findings in the skeletons of patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthropathy are described. The results indicate that is it possible to detect inflammatory disease in joints by scintigraphy in patients who have not yet developed symptoms. The effect of treatment can be satisfactorily followed by serial scans. Further investigations and observations will be required to show whether the paravertebral calcification and syndesmophyte formation which has been described is really pathognomonic for psoriatic arthropathy.
