Hand, wrist, and elbow arthropathy in syringomyelia.
We present a patient with syringomyelia and neuropathic osteoarthropathy involving the elbow, wrist, and hand unilaterally and discuss the differential diagnosis of the radiographic features. The unique pattern of joint involvement in this patient may be explained by selective involvement of specific anatomic sites within the spinal cord.
