    Radiologic findings in Reiter disease, also known as reactive arthritis, can be subtle. Distinctive features include specific bone changes and joint involvement patterns aiding in diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Radiology
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Reiter disease, now often termed reactive arthritis, presents with diverse clinical symptoms.
    • Radiographic evaluation is crucial for understanding disease progression and complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the characteristic radiologic manifestations of Reiter disease in a cohort of 56 patients.
    • To identify distinctive imaging features that aid in the differential diagnosis of this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of radiologic findings in 56 patients diagnosed with Reiter disease.
    • Analysis of specific bone and joint abnormalities, including periosteal apposition, arthritis patterns, and spinal involvement.

    Main Results:

    • Findings are often nonspecific, but characteristic features were identified.
    • Distinctive signs include subtle periosteal bone apposition, limited involvement of large joints (hips, shoulders), destructive arthritis predominantly in small joints (feet), and a unique "discontinuous" spondylitis with eccentric vertebral hyperostoses.
    • Similar hyperostoses were noted above the sacroiliac joints.

    Conclusions:

    • Certain radiologic features, when considered together, are highly suggestive of Reiter disease.
    • Recognition of these specific patterns is important for accurate differential diagnosis, particularly in differentiating from other spondyloarthropathies.
