Abstract:
Plant thorn synovitis is an overlooked cause of monoarthritis, with difficulties in diagnosis and treatment (1). We report on a case of thorn induced synovitis, not confirmed by histopathology, but strongly suspected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), that visualizes the foreign body (first case reported).
