Overview
X-ray findings of Gout varies depending on the type of episode. Acute attack of gout doesn't demonstrate any significant changes, while chronic gout may show subcortical swellings, intraarticular erosions and other findings, which are not significantly diagnostic for gout.
X-ray
- Plain radiographs are often normal, although evidence of asymmetrical swelling and subcortical cysts without erosion may help to diagnose chronic gout.[1]
- Radiographic changes are a late feature of chronic gout, typically occurring after 15 years of disease onset, and is almost always present in patients with subcutaneous tophi.[2]
- Bone erosion is a feature of advanced gout and is characterized by a sclerotic rim and overhanging edge.[3]
- The joint space is usually preserved until late in the disease, and other features such as periosteal new bone formation, extra-articular erosions, intraosseous calcifications, joint space widening, and subchondral collapse may be present.[4]
