| Sumario: | Neuropathic arthropathy, also known as Charcot arthropathy, refers to progressive and occasionally rapid joint destruction that results from underlying disorders of the nervous system. This pictorial essay aims to illustrate various radiologic findings in neuropathic arthropathy using various examples in the upper and lower limbs and in the spine. Pearls for radiologic diagnosis, clinical differential considerations and possible complications are discussed individually for each joint. MR imaging techniques for differentiating infection and neuropathic arthropathy are explained with examples. Management issues are outlined. |
