В статье, написанной врачами – ревматологом и рентгенологом, в течение многих лет занимающимися диагностикой анкилозирующего спондилита (аксиального спондилоартрита), приведены советы в отношении рационального распознавания этих заболеваний. В первой части статьи обсуждаются адекватная визуализация крестцово-подвздошных суставов и необходимость вдумчивого отношения к рентгенологическим и МРТ-признакам сакроилиита, ни один из которых, взятый по отдельности, не является патогномоничным. Предлагается оптимальный, с точки зрения авторов, алгоритм проведения визуализационных исследований сакроилиальных сочленений. Разбираются многочисленные ситуации, имитирующие сакроилиит.
The article written by a rheumatologist and a radiologist who have long-term experience in diagnostics of ankylosing spondylitis (axial spondylitis), provides advices on rational recognition of these diseases. The first part of the article discusses adequate visualization of the sacroiliac joints and the need for thoughtful consideration of radiological and MRI signs of sacroiliitis, neither of which, taken alone, is pathognomonic. An optimal, from the authors' point of view, algorithm for conducting visualization studies of sacroilial joints is proposed. Numerous situations simulating sacroiliitis are analyzed.
