Psoriatic arthritis as a mountain

Abstract: RASSEGNA Reumatismo, 2003; 55(1):6-15 Reumatismo, 2003; 55(1):6-15 RIASSUNTOIl concetto di artrite psoriasica (AP) non è ancora universalmente accettato. In effetti, poche fra le principali caratteristiche dell'AP sono considerate realmente patognomoniche, tanto che uno stesso paziente può essere giudicato affetto da artrite reumatoide (AR), spondiloartrite (SpA) o AP, a seconda del medico che lo ha visitato. L'eterogeneità dell'AP, la mancanza di differenze significative nell'artrite precoce con o senza… Show more

“…However, this definition reflects only in part the large spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders found in patients with psoriasis (2). Thus, due to the heterogeneity of its expression, PsA may be overdiagnosised or underdiagnosised (3).…”

“…10-12 Similarities aside, the mechanisms of both diseases are not completely correlated, probably due to various etiopathogenic factors. 13 However, because of the potential consequences of joint damage, the optimization of screening methods and the investigation of arthritis in patients with psoriasis have become a medical priority. This is also justified by the large gap between diagnosis of Pso and that of the early stages of PsA.…”

“…It is now sufficiently ascertained that: DIP involvement may occurs in several patients with PsA; the distinction between oligoarticular and polyarticular disease is not useful since one form evolves into another and in both directions, and in addition, sometimes the number of affected joints (i.e. 5 or 6) makes difficult its fixed inclusion in one of these groups (9)(10)(11). Furthermore, the definition of axial disease may be in some cases problematic, since in comparison with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), the axial involvement of PsA may be less expressed, at least at the disease onset.…”

“…Furthermore, the definition of axial disease may be in some cases problematic, since in comparison with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), the axial involvement of PsA may be less expressed, at least at the disease onset. Sometimes the inflammatory involvement of the spine may be clinically silent but can lead to ankylosis, although usually less severe than in classical AS (11); sacroiliitis, frequently less pronounced and unilateral than in AS, may be asymptomatic (11); a coarse syndesmophytosis, called tumoral enthesopathy, which can mimic diffuse idiopathic hyperostosis (12); more frequent involvement of cervical spine and/or relative sparing of the lumbar spine (11). So me recently well recognised characteristics of PsA, such as enthesopathies, osteitis and SAPHO, were not included in Moll and Wright classifica-L. Punzi, R. Ramonda Editorial tion.…”
