Abstract:
A 71-year-old male with hypertrophic osteoarthropathy was referred to our hospital because of a nocturnal fever and tenderness stretching from the left parotid region to the left front neck, in which antibacterials were ineffective. He was diagnosed with Takayasu\'s arteritis following findings of contrast-enhanced computed tomography and neck ultrasound. This is the first report to describe the development of Takayasu\'s arteritis after a prolonged course of typical hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, and the proposed hypertrophic osteoarthropathy and Takayasu\'s arteritis have common underlying pathophysiological factors.
摘要:
一名71岁的男性患有肥厚性骨关节病(HOA),因为夜间发烧和压痛从左腮腺区域延伸到左前颈部,其中抗菌药物无效。在对比增强计算机断层扫描和颈部超声检查后,他被诊断为Takayasu动脉炎(TAK)。这是第一份描述TAK在经过长时间的典型HOA后发展的报告,并提出了HOA和TAK具有共同的潜在病理生理因素。
