title: Neurotrophic arthropathy of the shoulder secondary to tuberculous arachnoiditis: a case report.
abstract: A rapidly progressive neurotrophic arthropathy of the shoulder was noted in a 44-year-old man with tuberculous adhesive arachnoiditis. Difficulty in making the diagnosis of adhesive arachnoiditis was encountered because of the variable and confusing neurologic manifestations until a cisternal myelogram was performed and this previously unreported relationship established.
