[CRST syndrome with diffuse peri- and intra-articular calcifications. Value of x-ray computed tomography]
Abstract
A patient with calcinosis universalis presented extensive calcifications involving fingers, shoulders, thoracic wall and cervical spine. Computed tomography imaging appeared to be a highly valid method of investigation of calcification of soft tissues and allowed detection of an intra-articular scapulohumeral calcium-provoked effusion.
