Sharma DSA: Clinical MSK radiology Flashcards
Osteoporosis
-decreased cortical thickening
Osteopetrosis
-diffuse, dense bone
Osteitis deformans (paget disease of bone)
-thickening of calvarium
Osteonecrosis (avascular necrosis)
- X ray: irregular lucencies with adjacent sclerosis
- MRI: dark serpinginous necrotic bone
Ankylosing spondylititis spondylititis
-Bamboo spine
Giant cell tumor
-Soap bubble appearance
Osteochondroma
-exotosis of bone
Osteosarcoma
- “sunburst pattern”
- Codman triangle around metaphysis of long bones
Ewing sarcoma
-Onion skin around diaphysis of long bone
Type 1 vs Type 2 osteoporosis
- 1: post menopausal
- 2: >70 yrs old
What is the cell dysfunction in osteoporosis and osteopetrosis?
- porosis: blasts are the problem
- Petrosis: clasts are the problem
What enzyme mutation impairs the ability of osteoclasts to generate acidic environment?
-Carbonic Anhydrase
What gets filled in osteopetrosis?
- the bone marrow spaces
- this can lead to pancytopenia, extramedullary hematopoiesis
Pathology of Osteitis deformans (paget disease of bone)
- increased bone resorption (osteoclasts), followed by exuberant new bone formation
- the new bone is abnormal and woven with disorganized collagen
- The increased bone formation results in bone enlargement and deformity because of poor
- increased risk of developing osteogenic sarcoma
What is the marker for Paget disease of bone?
- normal Ca2+ phosphorous levels
- Serum alkaline phosphate elevated
- Urine hydroxyproline increased
