Paying attention to enthesitis in early untreated arthritis: MRI for the evaluation of enthesitis
Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2014We read with great interest the report by Paramarta et al 1 related to enthesitis in early untreated arthritis. We really appreciate the work done by the authors. However, there are some issues that need to be further discussed. First, the author concluded that “the major findings are that the frequency as well as the extent and localisation of ...

The entheses: histology, pathology, and pathophysiology
Joint Bone Spine, 2005The entheses are the sites of attachment of ligaments, tendons, and joint capsules to bone. Their ubiquitous distribution throughout the body explains the considerable clinical and radiological polymorphism of entheseal diseases. In addition to aging and mechanical factors, many disorders related to a vast array of pathophysiological mechanisms can ...

Diagnosis and treatment of enthesitis
Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 2003The conceptual understanding of SpA and the ability to image sites of skeletal inflammation accurately and confirm that enthesitis is the primary lesion has occurred around the same time as the greatest therapeutic advances in AS and SpA with the advent of potent anti-TNF therapies for enthesitis.

The management of enthesitis in clinical practice
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2020Purpose of reviewEnthesitis is a hallmark feature of the spondyloarthropathies (SpA). This review provides an overview of recent insights on diagnosis and management of enthesitis.Recent findingsRecent studies support the use of imaging for diagnosis because of its higher sensitivity and specificity compared with clinical examination.

The synovio-entheseal complex in enthesoarthritis
Clinical and Experimental Medicine, 2015The group of diseases classified as seronegative spondyloarthritis or enthesoarthritis is characterized by typical osteoarticular and extra-articular manifestations. Diverse patterns of disease can affect different members of the same family and may show different features in the same patient, with clinical overlaps thwarting the differential diagnosis.

Classification of inflammatory arthritis by enthesitis
The Lancet, 1998Imaging studies of early synovitis suggest that the first abnormality to appear in swollen joints associated with spondyloarthropathy is an enthesitis (inflammation at sites where ligaments, tendons, or joint capsules are attached to bone). We propose that the synovitis of spondyloarthropathy is secondary to liberation of proinflammatory mediators from

Sonologic enthesitis in children with enthesitis-related arthritis.
Clinical and experimental rheumatology, 2016Enthesitis is an important clinical manifestation and is a diagnostic criterion for juvenile idiopathic enthesitis-related arthritis (JIA-ERA). Ultrasound (US) is a highly sensitive method of detection of enthesitis in adult spondyloarthropathies. However, since the data on JIA and the preformance of US compared to clinical examination is limited, we ...

Imaging assessment of enthesitis in spondyloarthritis
Annals of Nuclear Medicine, 2012Enthesitis, defined as the inflammation of the origin and insertion of ligaments, tendons, aponeuroses, annulus fibrosis, and joint capsules, is a hallmark of spondyloarthritis (SpA). New imaging techniques including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasonography, and positron emission tomography with computed tomography using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose

Advances in the understanding of entheseal inflammation
Current Rheumatology Reports, 2002The importance of enthesitis in the pathogenesis of spondyloarthropathy (SpA) is now well recognized. Several entheses comprise more than simply the insertion site, and they are part of a complex biomechanical organ to resist shear and compression. It is also evident that tendons that wrap around bony pulleys form an integral part of joint capsules ...

Enthesitis, arthritis, and heel pain
Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, 1999Often, individuals who present with "isolated" heel pain but with normal laboratory findings are dismissed without diagnosis. However, if these patients are carefully questioned and examined, a significant proportion are found to have a spondyloarthropathy.
