Overview
There are no MRI findings associated with familial mediterranean fever. However, a MRI may be helpful in the evaluation of complications of this disease, which include hepatosplenomegaly, exertional leg pain, and specifically myalgia.
MRI
There are no MRI findings associated with familial mediterranean fever. However, a MRI may be helpful in the evaluation of complications of this disease, which include hepatosplenomegaly, and specifically myalgia.
MRI may be helpful in the evaluation of myalgia. Findings on MRI suggestive of/diagnostic of myalgia include:[1]
- Hyperintense focal lesions on both Short-T1 Inversion Recovery (STIR) and fat-saturated gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted images.
MRI findings of FMF patients with exertional leg pain also include:[2]
- Enthesitis of the Achilles tendon, the plantar fascia, and the long plantar ligament
- Bone marrow edema
- Excessive synovial fluid
