Systemic lupus erythematosus presented with multiple avascular necrosis

Semptomatik avasküler nekroz (AVN) sistemik lupus eritematozisli hastalarda sık görülür ve genellikle birden fazla eklemi içine alır. Kalça, dizler ve omuz eklemi en sık etkilenen eklemlerdir. Steroid tedavisi gibi pek çok risk faktörü SLE’li hastalarda AVN’den sorumludur. Biz bu vakada birden fazla bölgede AVN ile bağlayan SLE hastası sunduk. Hastanın 2 ay süreli yüksek doz steroid tedavisi kullanım hikayesi mevcuttu.

Sistemik lupus eritematozusta avasküler nekrozis

Symptomatic avascular necrosis (AVN) is common in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and is often involves multiple joints. Hips, knees and shoulders are the most commonly affected joints. Multiple risk factors are responsible for AVN in SLE patients including steroid therapy. In this case we reported a SLE patient initially presented with AVN in multiple sites. The patient had the history of short course of high dose corticosteroid therapy for 2 months.
