title: Monoarticular pseudogout of the hip: a case report.
abstract: Monoarticular pseudogout is a rare cause of acute hip pain, and may mimic hip joint infection. We present a case of monoarticular pseudogout in an 85-year-old woman. Diagnosis was confirmed with hip joint aspiration and crystal analysis. The patient was treated with intra-articular corticosteroids, and her symptoms resolved.
