Case Report: CPPD Presenting as Pseudosepsis
Calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease (CPPD) is an arthritis caused by the accumulation of calcium pyrophosphate crystals. Despite a prevalence of 4–7% among the adult population in Europe and the U.S., it has remained a relatively under-recognized disease owing to its many clinical presentations.1 CPPD may cause an acute mono/oligoarthritis, which may mimic gout or...

Treatment of tophaceous pseudogout in the temporomandibular joint with resection and alloplastic reconstruction: a single-staged approach
In this report, important considerations for diagnosis, biopsy, and surgical treatment with emphasis on reconstruction for tophaceous pseudogout of the TMJ have been highlighted by the authors. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) in a liver transplant patient: are hypomagnesemia, tacrolimus or both guilty? A case-based literature review
AbstractCalcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) can be induced by a persistent hypomagnesemia. Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive treatment especially used in organ transplant, potentially inducer of hypomagnesemia by renal loss. A 53-year-old man, liver transplant 10 months earlier, developed an acute peripheral oligoarthritis of wrist, hip and elbow with fever, associated with acute low back pain. Synovial fluid was sterile, and revealed calcium pyrophosphate crystals. Spinal imaging showed inflammatory changes. Magnesium blood level was low at 0.51 mmol/l, with high fractional excretion in favor of renal loss. Tacrol...

Case Report: Posterolateral Epidural Supra-C2-Root Approach (PESCA) for Biopsy of a Retro-Odontoid Lesions in Same Sitting After Occipitocervical Fixation and Decompression in a Case of Crowned Dens Syndrome With Brainstem Compression and Displacement
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that PESCA can be used to obtain tissue for pathological analysis in one surgical sitting after fusion and decompression and that fusion, decompression, and PESCA (in the same session) together with subsequent conservative management could be a good alternative for the treatment of CDS.PMID:35558389 | PMC:PMC9086508 | DOI:10.3389/fsurg.2022.797495 (Source: Hand Surgery)

A case of Tophaceous Pseudogout: A Rare Crystalopathy Particularly Afflicting the Temporomandibular Joint
Tophaceous pseudogout is a rare variant of CPPD crystal deposition disease presenting with a soft- tissue calcified mass. Temporomandibular joint is a common site of involvement of tophaceous pseudogout. Mu- tations in gene ANKH (inorganic phosphate transport regulator) are involved in crystal related inflammatory reac- tions.
