“…Charcot arthropathy secondary to syringomyelia mostly involved single joint and involvement of multiple joint is rare [8,9]. Furthermore, the joints mostly involved are the hip and knee in tabes dorsalis [6]; spine in tertiary syphilis, post–spinal cord injury [10], and congenital insensitivity to pain [11]; and tarsometatarsal and subtalar joint in chronic alcohol abuse [12]. …”

BackgroundAlthough Charcot arthropathy, also known as neuropathic arthropathy, of which early diagnosis and treatment is extremely difficult, associated with other cause factor has been widely described, Charcot arthropathy caused by syringomyelia and Chiari malformation complicated with scoliosis has never been described in the literature.Case presentationA 44-year-old male was hospitalized for diagnosis and treatment due to complaining the progressively swelling and limitation of motion in his left shoulder joint for 1 year. The patient has no significant past medical history except for scoliosis 8 years prior to his presentation to our clinic; He denied any constitutional symptoms, trauma, or pain in the upper extremities at this time of presentation. Based on history, physical and auxiliary examination, following diagnoses were made: Charcot arthropathy of the left shoulder, syringomyelia, Chiari malformation and scoliosis.ConclusionOnce Charcot arthritis was found, it was mostly in advanced stage and very difficult to treat. So we recommended that if patient suffering from scoliosis visited in clinic, further examination such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and regular follow-up should be carried out, and early-stage of this devastating disease caused by syringomyelia and Chiari malformation may be diagnosed easily.

“…Neurarthropathy, also known as Charcot arthropathy, is a complication usually ascribed to diabetic neuropathy, but is also seen in patients with chronic alcoholism without diabetes [16]. It is a condition with marked joint instability, rocker bottom feet deformity with development of bony prominences leading to ulceration of the second and third toes, often accompanied by infections.…”

“…It is a condition with marked joint instability, rocker bottom feet deformity with development of bony prominences leading to ulceration of the second and third toes, often accompanied by infections. Neurarthropathy is usually less devastating in patients with alcoholism than in diabetic patients, probably due to the higher incidence of obesity and immunocompromise in the latter population [16].…”

We present a 35-year-old male patient with Bureau-Barrière syndrome. Bureau-Barrière syndrome is an ulcero-mutilating acropathy almost invariably associated with excessive alcohol intake. It presents with a triad of trophic skin changes with recurrent ulcerations, bone lesions and nerve damage. The clinical presentation includes chronic painless plantar ulcerations with periulcerous hyperkeratosis, hyperhidrosis, livedoid skin colour, nail dystrophy, widening and infiltration of the toes and common interdigital mycoses. Other non-specific skin changes related to the alcohol consumption are commonly observed as well. The condition affects mainly middle-aged men suffering from alcoholism. Often a bilateral location at the lower limb of male alcoholics has been described, as in our patient. Successful treatment of the Bureau-Barrière syndrome requires an interdisciplinary approach. Cessation of alcohol intake and smoking is of paramount importance.
