- Marked patchy bone marrow edema around the SI joints with a right-sided dominance best appreciated on the PD FS sequence.
- Simultaneous irregularity and sclerosis of the SI joints best seen on the T1 and T2-weighted sequences as low signal areas around the SI joint spaces.
- Small incidental hemangioma in the S4 vertebral body.
Case Discussion
Findings are pathognomonic for bilateral, but asymmetric sacroiliitis, which developed as the sequela of seronegative spondyloarthritis.
