is a rare pathogen for septic arthritis and is known for its subacute onset. We report a case of acute arthritis of the knee caused by and pseudogout. Initially, calcium pyrophosphate crystals were found in the knee, which were successfully treated with a steroid injection. Only anaerobic cultures became positive. A 16S rRNA PCR-analysis was necessary to identify as causative agent, a method which is never described before in similar cases. The infection was treated with clindamycin for 6 weeks. This is the third case report of a septic arthritis caused by and the second which also reports concomitant pseudogout.

Department of Neurosurgery, University Hospital Cruces, Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain.
Background: Delayed radiation-induced complications after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for arteriovenous malformations (AVM) have scarcely been described in the literature, and their incidence, pathophysiology, and treatment remain unclear. Additionally, the literature regarding these complications is confusing. The authors present a well-documented case report describing these late complications, adding evidence to the possible common pathophysiological mechanism underlying them, and illustrating an effective treatment modality when they occur.
