| '''Sacroiliitis''' is an inflammation of the [[sacroiliac joint]]. Inflammation may occur in the region of the sacroiliac joint. This joint is relatively inflexible and connects the sacrum to the pelvis. It is associated with a variety of infectious or inflammatory conditions. Pain occurs either unilaterally or bilaterally in the low back, buttock and upper leg.

|
| ==Risk Factors for Sacroiliitis== | | ==[[Sacroiliitis differential diagnosis|Differentiating Sacroiliitis from other Diseases]]== |
|
| |
|
| * A history of bone, joint or skin infections. Some people are more prone to infections, and an infection is one possible cause of sacroiliitis.
| | ==[[Sacroiliitis epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]== |
| * Injury or trauma to your spine, pelvis or buttocks. Torn ligaments or trauma may create inflammation or infection of the [[sacroiliac joint]]s.
| |
| * [[Urinary tract infection]]. This infection may spread from your urinary tract, which includes your [[kidney]]s, [[bladder]] and [[urethra]], to your [[sacroiliac joint]]s.
| |
| * [[Pregnancy]]. The pelvic bone's expansion to prepare for childbirth may inflame the area around your sacroiliac joints.
| |
| * [[Endocarditis]]. This infection of your heart's inner lining may spread to your [[sacroiliac joint]]s.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Causes of Sacroiliitis== | | ==[[Sacroiliitis risk factors|Risk Factors]]== |
|
| |
|
| * Heavy lifting, especially incorrect training or when muscles aren't prepared for the activity
| | ==[[Sacroiliitis natural history, complications and prognosis|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]== |
| * A traumatic injury or sudden impact, such as a motor vehicle accident or a fall, affecting your spine, lower back, pelvis or buttocks
| |
| * Spondyloarthropathies, which include [[ankylosing spondylitis]], [[arthritis]] associated with psoriasis and others
| |
| * Degenerative arthritis, also called [[osteoarthritis]] of the spine, causing degeneration of the [[sacroiliac joint]]s, which can cause mild [[inflammation]] and [[pain]]
| |
| * [[Pregnancy]], because the pelvis must stretch to accommodate childbirth
| |
| * Infection of the [[sacroiliac joint]], sometimes caused by bacteria in food ([[brucellosis]])

| === Clinical Features=== | | ==Treatment== |
| | | [[Sacroiliitis medical therapy|Medical Therapy]] | [[Sacroiliitis surgery|Surgery]] | [[Sacroiliitis cost-effectiveness of therapy|Cost-Effectiveness of Therapy]] | [[Sacroiliitis future or investigational therapies|Future or Investigational Therapies]] |
| * [[Pain]] and stiffness at lower back, thighs or buttocks, especially in the morning or when sitting for a long period of time
| |
| * [[Pain]] affecting hips and shoulders
| |
| * [[Pain]] that worsens with walking because the swinging motion of hips strains [[sacroiliac joint]]s
| |
| * Inflammation in one or both of the eyes ([[uveitis]] or [[iritis]])
| |
| * [[Psoriasis]], an inflammatory skin condition
| |
| * Bloody [[diarrhea]]
| |
| * A low-grade [[fever]] that appears quickly
| |
| | |
| ===Physical Examination===
| |
| | |
| * Localized pain that seems to be on or around [[sacroiliac joint]]s, which can be determined by pressing on sacroiliac region while patient moves in certain ways to gently stress the [[sacroiliac joint]].
| |
| | |
| ===Laboratory Diagnosis===
| |
| | |
| * Cultures of fluid from the [[sacroiliac joint]]
| |
| * [[Blood culture]], if the cause appears to be an infection
| |
| * [[X-ray]]s of [[sacroiliac joint]]s
| |
| * [[Magnetic resonance imaging]] ([[MRI]]) scan of [[sacroiliac joint]]s
| |
| | |
| ===X-ray Findings in Differential Diagnosis===
| |
| | |
| *Normal SI joint is uniform in size throughout
| |
| :*Only lower 2/3 of SI joint are true joint
| |
| *Earliest sign of sacroiliitis is widening of the joint
| |
| :*Sclerosis and narrowing represent healing
| |
| *Unilateral Sacroiliitis
| |
| :*TB
| |
| *Bilateral and symmetric
| |
| :*[[Ankylosing spondylitis]]
| |
| :*:*Narrowing and sclerosis
| |
| :*:*Fusion eventually
| |
| :*:*Almost always bilateral
| |
| :*[[Inflammatory bowel disease]]
| |
| :*:*[[Ulcerative colitis]] more often then Crohn’s
| |
| *Enteropathic arthritis more common in Crohn’s-usually knee
| |
| :*:*Inflammatory bowel disease usually does not affect the spine as often as ankylosing spondylitis
| |
| :*:*Bilateral and asymmetric
| |
| :*[[Rheumatoid arthritis]], [[psoriasis]] and Reiter’s may affect one SI joint but usually affect both
| |
| :*:*Usually asymmetric
| |
| :*Gout is a rare cause of sacroiliitis
| |
| :*:*May see erosions in spine
| |
| *SI Disease in Crohn’s
| |
| :*About 3-16% of patient with Crohn’s
| |
| :*Occurs independent of activity of bowel disease
| |
| :*HLA B27 antigen is usually elevated
| |
| :*Bilateral SI joint narrowing and erosions with sclerosis
| |
| :*:*Identical appearance to AS
| |
| *SI Disease in Ulcerative Colitis
| |
| :*About 1-22% of patients with UC
| |
| :*Not correlated with activity of bowel disease
| |
| :*Spondylitis usually precedes onset of bowel findings
| |
| :*Appears identical to AS
| |
| :*More common in males
| |
| :*Peripheral joint involvement in 50-70%
| |
| :*:*Especially shoulders and hips
| |
| :*Higher incidence of elevated HLA B27 in patients with [[spondylitis]] or [[iritis]]
| |
| | |
| ==Differential Diagnosis of Causes of Sacroiliitis ==
| |
| | |
| * Bilateral & symmetrical
| |
| :* [[Ankylosing spondylitis]]
| |
| :* [[Reiter's syndrome]]
| |
| :* Enteropathic
| |
| | |
| * Bilateral & assymetrical
| |
| :* [[Psoriatic arthritis]]
| |
| :* [[Rheumatoid arthritis]]
| |
| :* [[Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis]]
| |
| | |
| * Unilateral
| |
| :* [[Gout]]
| |
| :* Infection
| |
| :* [[Osteoarthritis]]
