title: [Jaccoud arthropathy and pyrophosphate arthropathy: a rare association].
abstract: Jaccoud's arthropathy (JA) is a chronic deformity affecting hands and feet, which are voluntarily correctable by the patients. JA was usually reported in association with rheumatic fever and systemic lupus erythematosus. We describe an exceptional association between a pyrophosphate arthropathy and JA of the hands. It is a 48-year-old woman, having a 13 years history of polyarthritis involving shoulders, elbows, hips and knees, and 4 years after, a progressive unlar deviation of the fingers of the hands. Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals were identified in the synovial knee biopsy. Hands x-rays as RMI don't identify erosions and confirmed the JA.
