Özet

Neuropathic arthropathy is a progressive, degenerative arthritis affecting one or more peripheral or vertebral articulations and is associated with an underlying central or peripheral neurological disorder. Diabetes mellitus and syphilis are among the most common causes of the neuropathic arthropathy. Syringomyelia is a chronic progressive degenerative of developmental disorder of the spinal cord and may lead to neuropathic arthropathy in the upper extremities. Herein, we report a case of neuropathic arthropathy with wrist involvement secondary to syringomyela. Turk J Phys Med Rehab 2009;55:176-8.
