Overview
There are no MRI findings associated with the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome. However, an MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of arthropathy associated with neonatal-onset multi-system inflammatory disease (NOMID) which includes enlarged, heterogenous physis with hypointense calcifications and presence of popliteal lymph node.
MRI
- There are no MRI findings associated with the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome. However, an MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of arthropathy associated with neonatal-onset multi-system inflammatory disease (NOMID).[1]
- Findings associated with arthropathy of NOMID include:
- Presence of popliteal lymph node is another recognized feature
- Absence of bony erosion
- T1 and T2 images: Enlarged, heterogenous physis with hypointense calcifications
- Post-gadolinium image: Heterogenous enhancement at the physis
