[MRI of knee tuberculous arthritis].
Tuberculous arthritis is rare and the diagnosis may be confused with inflammatory arthritis. Only few cases, explored by MRI, have been reported in the literature. We report 3 cases of tuberculous arthritis of the knee revealed by insidious pain. The abnormalities revealed by MRI suggested tuberculosis. Diagnosis was confirmed by histology.
