AI Article Synopsis
- The case highlights a unique instance of unilateral sacroiliitis caused by mechanical stress, which is not commonly reported.
- It emphasizes the importance of excluding infection and systemic diseases as potential causes, as they require prompt treatment.
- The authors present a thorough literature review on the various causes of sacroiliitis, discussing this newly identified stress-related condition.
Article Abstract
We report for the first time a case of atypical unilateral sacroiliitis secondary to mechanical stress injury. Unilateral sacroiliitis can be caused by a variety of etiologies. The first diagnosis to rule out is infection since it requires urgent treatment to avoid its serious consequences. Spondyloarthritis can be manifested by unilateral sacroiliitis in its early stage. Sacral fractures should always be looked for on the imaging modalities performed. In our case, no signs of infection or systemic disease were found. No fracture was seen on the imaging examinations and we had negative cultures on the computed tomography-guided biopsy realized. A history of mechanical stress was the only clue found suggesting the diagnosis of a probable stress related sacroiliitis. A thorough review of the literature will be provided stating the different causes of sacroiliitis described till now, with discussion of this new reported entity.

Intraoperative Cardiovascular Emergency in Spinal Melioidosis Presenting as a Case of Spinal Epidural Abscess: A Rare Case Study of 2 Patients.
Indian J Microbiol

Spine Surgery, Apollo Multispecialty Hospital, Kolkata, India.
Melioidosis rarely presents with spinal involvement, which may lead to neurological complications. It's endemic to Thailand and Australia, but rare in India. Patients with diabetes, immunocompromised states, and chronic renal failure are at high risk of developing melioidosis, which can present with localized or disseminated abscess collection.

Article Synopsis
- - Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare inflammatory bone disease that often appears in vertebral and mandibular regions, making it essential for neuroradiologists to recognize these lesions to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment.
- - A study analyzed imaging data from 13 pediatric CNO patients, revealing that most had vertebral lesions affecting multiple levels of the spine, with 81.8% also showing signs of inflammation and height loss.
- - Mandibular lesions were typically unilateral and involved the ramus, characterized by bone changes and soft tissue inflammation; both vertebral and mandibular lesions showed potential for resolution but also recurrence.
MRI predictors of infectious etiology in patients with unilateral sacroiliitis.

July 2024
Department of Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India.
Background: Unilateral presentation of sacroiliitis is a diagnostic dilemma, especially between infection and inflammatory sacroiliitis associated with spondyloarthritis, requiring an early and accurate diagnosis.
Objective: To assess the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in differentiating infective versus inflammatory etiology in unilateral sacroiliitis.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective review of the MRI of 90 patients with unilateral sacroiliitis, having an established final diagnosis.
Evaluation of the Possibility of Axial Psoriatic Arthritis Patients Meeting Classification Criteria for Axial Spondyloarthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Nasonova Research Institute of Rheumatology, Moscow, Russia.
The objective of the study was to analyze whether axial psoriatic arthritis (axPsA) patients meet classification criteria for axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). A total of 104 patients (66 men and 38 women) with PsA according to CASPAR criteria were examined, all patients had back pain. Patients were evaluated for presence of inflammatory back pain (IBP) by ASAS criteria.

Purpose: To report two cases of non-granulomatous unilateral anterior uveitis in two female patients associated with autoimmune liver diseases (ALD), emphasizing the possibility of this rare coexistence as a polyautoimmunity phenomenon.
Case Descriptions: Case 1: An 18-year-old female with a history of congenital renal hypoplasia and metabolic syndrome presented with anterior uveitis in OS and a history of jaundice, blood elevated hepatic enzymes, and cholangioresonance compatible with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Laboratory work-up for additional autoimmune and infective causes were within normal limits.
