Abstract:
Neuropathic arthropathy (Charcot joints) most frequently affect the weight-bearing joints of the body, are commonly associated with a variety of medical and neurological conditions and are notoriously difficult to treat due to the nature of the underlying pathology. We present a case of ipsilateral shoulder and thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint neuropathic arthropathy secondary to cervical syringomyelia. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the literature of this rare association.
