Overview
There are no X-ray findings associated with psoriasis, though an X-ray can be used to diagnose psoriatic arthritis, which may lead to bone erosion and characteristic "pencil-in-cup" deformities. Psoriatic arthritis may also lead to periostitis, dactylitis, or arthritis mutilans.
X-Ray
There are no X-ray findings associated with psoriasis, though an X-ray can be used to diagnose psoriatic arthritis, which may lead to bone erosion and characteristic "pencil-in-cup" deformities.
- Key X-ray findings in cases of psoriatic arthritis include:[1][2][3]
- Enthesitis and marginal bone erosions
- "Pencil-in-cup" deformities
- Interphalangeal ankylosis may be found
- Bone proliferation leads to inflammatory bone spur formation around the affected joints
- Periostitis: Appears as a periosteal layer of new bone, or as irregular thickening of the cortex itself
- Dactylitis: Which can present as a “sausage digit” which refers to soft tissue swelling of a whole digit
- Arthritis mutilans: It may lead to "telescoping of fingers" caused by marked bony resorption and the subsequent collapse of soft tissue
- Asymmetrical sacroiliitis
- Spondylitis: Asymmetric paravertebral ossifications and relative sparing of the facet joints
