[Recurrent coxopathy, isolated manifestation of Gaucher's disease].
A case of Gaucher's disease is reported in a 12 year-old girl. Presenting signs consisted of relapsing hip arthritis, while no splenomegaly was detectable. The authors comment the inflammatory or moderately hemorrhagic nature of articular fluid and the diagnostic value of an early decreased uptake on bone scintiscan. The value of magnetic resonance imaging for evaluating bone involvement is emphasized.
