6.9 Sjögren Syndrome (Myoepithelial
Sialadenitis)
Sjögren syndrome (SS) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease characterized by in ltration of the acinar cells of the salivary and lacrimal glands by lymphocytes, causing dry eye ( xeropthalmia ), dry mouth ( xerostomia ), and in ammation of the cornea and the conjunctiva ( keratoconjunctivitis ).
SS is classi ed as secondary ( Sicca syndrome ) when it is
associated with other connective tissue disorders (e.g., rheu­matoid arthritis) and primary when it occurs without any manifestation of other connective tissue disorders.
Patients with SS may also develop neuropsychiatric man­ifestations. Brain manifestations include aseptic meningoen­cephalitis and multiple sclerosis-like symptoms (25 % of cases). Psychiatric manifestations include Alzheimer-type dementia, poor attention and concentration, and memory de cits. Rarely, neuromyelitis optica may coexist in patients with SS.In children, although it is rare, SS is characterized by bilateral parotid enlargement. Very rarely, SS may be associ­ated with amyloidosis.
Laboratory investigation reveals high titer of SS-A antibod­ies and SS-B antibodies plus rheumatoid factor in 50 % of cases.
Signs on Sialography
On both conventional and MR-sialography, the aff ected
salivary gland shows mottled appearance with cystic
changes due to destruction of the gland parenchyma
(sialectasia). Four stages of sialectasia are classically
described:
5 Stage 1 ( punctuate ): multiple dots <1 mm in size
(
. Fig. 6.9.1 )
5 Stage 2 ( globular ): multiple dots 1–2 mm in size 5 Stage 3 ( cavitary ): multiple dots >2 mm in size 5 Stage 4 ( destructive ): multiple irregular and
widened ducts due to gland inflammation ( sialodochitis )
Criteria to Diagnose SS Include
– Symptoms and signs of ocular dryness (e.g., positive
Schrimer’s test) – Symptoms and signs of mouth dryness – Evidence of autoimmune disease (e.g., positive rheuma-
toid factor) – Exclusion of lymphoma, sarcoidosis, and acquired immu-
node ciency syndrome
SS causes salivary glands in ammation ( sialadenitis ) that
leads to parenchymal destruction and salivary gland dilata­tion ( sialectasia ).
Patients with SS are commonly perimenopausal women who o en develop multiple systemic manifestations that include mouth dryness, which a ects eating, speaking, and may lead to teeth decay; extreme fatigue occurs in 50 % of patients, which is more troublesome than the exocrine symp­toms; intermittent polyarthritis a ecting the small joints in asymmetrical fashion; dry skin (50 %), esophageal dysmotil­ity (up to 90 %), vaginal atrophy and dyspareunia; and inter­stitial nephritis. Patients with SS have risk for developing lymphoma, and they should be closely monitored.

patient with submandibular sialectasis grade 1–2 seen as diff use multiple punctuated dots between 1 and 2 mm in diameter
Signs on CT

6.10 Behçet Disease
Diagnosis is essentially clinical, and atypical presentation
can be misleading and delay the diagnosis.
Behçet disease (BD) is a relatively rare rheumatological dis­ease characterized by the triad of aphthous oral ulcers, geni­tal ulcers, and ocular in ammation (uveitis).  e disease is named a er its  rst describer, the Turkish dermatologist Hulusi Behçet, in 1937.
Signs on Enteroclysis
Distal ileum infl ammation and aphthous ulceration are seen in up to 80 % of patients with GI manifestations of BD. Pseudopolyp formation is seen in 35 % of cases.
Clinical Criteria to Diagnose BD Require a Combination of Three or More of the Following Findings
6
– Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (79 %).  e lesions are
punched out with rolled edges.
– Recurrent genital ulcers, mainly seen on the scrotum or
labial majora, which heal by scar formation.
– Anterior or posterior uveitis, presenting with pain, blurry
vision, and redness. – Vasculitis of cutaneous or large vessels. – Mono- or oligoarthritis a ecting the knees in particular. – Meningoencephalitis. – Cutaneous hyperactivity to minor trauma.
BD lesions are characterized by chronic in ammation of the so tissues with neutrophilic in ltration, which is charac­teristic of BD lesions regardless of the disease stage.
BD is a multisystemic disease with many manifestations. Documented complications of BD are those that a ect the gastrointestinal tract (GI), large vessels (vasculitis and throm­bophlebitis), musculoskeletal system (myonecrosis and arthritis), renal system (proteinuria and hematuria), and the nervous system (neuro-BD).
Myonecrosis should be considered in patients with known BD presenting with acute onset of muscle pain and edema in the absence of signs and symptoms of infection. Renal BD is mainly caused by secondary amyloidosis (AA­type) and glomerulonephritis.
Neuro-BD has three patterns of presentation: the  rst pattern is seen as brain parenchymal lesions presenting in stroke-like lesions and brain stem syndrome; the second pat­tern is migraine headache (64 %), papilledema, and increased intracranial hypertension; and the third pattern presents in the form of meningitis-like disease.
 e esophagus is involved in 50 % of patients usually in its midportion. Patients with esophageal involvement o en pres­ent with substernal pain, dysphagia, and occasional hemateme­sis. Esophageal varices may develop when the superior vena cava is obstructed due to thrombophlebitis ( superior vena cava syndrome ).  rombophlebitis may involve the hepatic veins resulting in Budd – Chiari syndrome (liver congestion and cir- rhosis due to hepatic veins out ow obstruction).
GI manifestations of BD may mimic the manifestations of Crohn’s disease (CD) radiologically and even pathologically. However, involvement of the rectum and anus is rare in BD; perforation is more common in BD than CD, no cobbelstoning in BD, and the GI disease is usually milder in BD than in CD.
Signs on MRI
5 In the muscles, myonecrosis presents with
soft-tissue inflammation in the form of soft-tissue mass with high signal intensity on T2W images and rim contrast enhancement on postgadolinium injection images.
5 In the brain, multiple, round, small (>5 mm) white
matter high T2 signal intensity lesions on FLAIR and T2W images, usually in the juxtacortical region (
. Fig. 6.10.1 ). Brain stem lesions and atrophy can
be seen.

6.11 Sharp Syndrome (Mixed Connective
Tissue Disease)
Mixed connective tissue disorder (MCTD) is a rare disease characterized by a combination of clinical features similar to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), scleroderma, and poly­myositis and unusually high titers of antibody to RNase­sensitive ribonucleoprotein complex (RNP).
MCTD patients have mixed features of rheumatological symptoms that do not match a certain rheumatological cate­gory. For example, polyarthritis, myositis, and hypergamma­globulinemia are more common in MCTD than in scleroderma. Also, polyarthritis and hypergammaglobu­linemia are more frequently found in MCTD than in poly­myositis. Esophageal hypermotility, pulmonary hypertension, and absence of renal disease are typical features of MCTD.Moreover, the detection of serological antibodies to RNP is very speci c for MCTD and very rarely found in other rheumatic or connective tissue disorders.
Patients with MCTD may show neurological signs like seizures, psychosis, headache, gait disturbance, and polyneu­ritis. Trigeminal neuralgia has been reported in patients with MCTD and seen frequently when the patient has more symp­toms toward scleroderma. In contrast, MCTD with more symptoms toward SLE shows neurological symptoms like
gait ataxia, transverse myelitis, and optic neuropathy. MCTD is one of the rare causes of “treatable dementia.”
MCTD should be considered in a patient when his/her symptoms and signs cannot be con ned to a sole rheumato­logical disease.
Signs on Radiograph and CT
Chest radiograph or CT may show signs of pulmonary
hypertension (e.g., prominent pulmonary trunk)
(
. Fig. 6.11.1 ).
. Fig. 6.11.1 Axial postcontrast CT angiography of the
pulmonary vessels in 32-year-old woman with Sharp’s syndrome
shows mildly dilated pulmonary trunk (28 mm) due to newly
developed pulmonary hypertension ( arrowhead )
Signs on Brain MRI
5 Optic or trigeminal neuritis is seen as contrast
enhancement of the nerve after gadolinium injection due to the hyperemia and inflammation (the normal nerve does not enhance after contrast injection).
5 Transverse myelitis shows enlargement of the cord
with diffuse hyperintense signal of the spinal cord on T2W images in the affected segment (
. Fig. 6.11.2 ). The affected segment enhances in
an inhomogeneous pattern after contrast administration. Cord atrophy occurs in chronic cases. On axial segments, the high signal on T2W images occurs on both sides of the cord, giving a “snake-eye appearance.”

6.12 Relapsing Polychondritis
Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare, multisystemic, auto­immune disease characterized by recurrent, episodic in am­mation and destruction of cartilaginous tissues.
 e peak age for disease onset is the  h decade. RP is associated with HLA class II DR4 and is frequently associ­ated with autoimmune, rheumatologic, or hematologic dis­orders (>30 %). Examples of diseases associated with RP include diabetes mellitus, Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthri­tis, and lymphoma.
. Fig. 6.12.1 An illustration that demonstrates the body’s
geographic distribution of relapsing polyarthritis arthropathy
Patients with RP present with recurrent episodes of in ammation involving the elastic cartilage of the nose, and ears, hyaline cartilage of the peripheral joints,  brocartilage of the vertebrae, tracheobronchial cartilage, and proteoglycan­rich structures like the blood vessels, eyes, and inner ear. Symptoms include fever, asymmetric polyarthritis, weight loss, and deformity of the ears and nose. Painful swelling of the cartilaginous part of the ears with violaceous discolor­ation is its characteristic. Hearing impairment may occur if the external auditory canal is closed due to serous otitis media or due to vasculitis of the internal auditory artery.
Arthritis in RP is usually asymmetric (
. Fig. 6.12.1 ),
migratory, seronegative, and nonerosive, a ecting most com­monly the metacarpophalangeal, PIP, wrists, and knees with or without synovitis. In short, any joint with cartilage is a ected or vulnerable. Symmetric involvement may be seen, sometimes mimicking rheumatoid arthritis.
Up to 25 % of patients present with respiratory symptoms and symptoms due to laryngeal or tracheal car­tilage in ammation like hoarseness of voice, persistent cough, stridor, and dyspnea. Mortality due to recurrent

respiratory infections or tracheal collapse ranges between 10 and 50 %.
Nasal chondritis is seen in up to 50 % of cases and may lead to saddle nose deformity. Symptoms of nasal chondritis include nasal pain, swelling, nasal stu ness, rhinorrhea, and maybe epistaxis. Dermatological manifestations are seen in 15–20 % of cases and resemble urticaria.
Ocular manifestations include recurrent scleritis, kerati­tis, and/or conjunctivitis. Cardiovascular manifestations include aortic aneurysm, aortic valve rupture, pericarditis, and complete heart block. Glomerulonephritis with protein­uria may occur.
Laboratory investigations are nonspeci c and include elevated levels of C-reactive protein and ESR.Rheumatoid factor and ANA are negative unless RP coexist with SLE or rheumatoid arthritis. Antibodies against collagen type II, IX, and XI as well as matrilin I can be found.
Neurorelapsing polychondritis occurs as a rare manifes­tation of relapsing polychondritis and is characterized by  uctuating headache, confusion, gait deterioration and ataxia, memory loss, personality change, and paranoia. Neurological manifestations occur in up to 5 % of patients.  e main pathological features on brain biopsy have been vasculitis and parenchymal in ammation. Other neurological manifestations include meningoencephalitis, cranial nerves palsies, seizures, ataxias, isolated cerebellar syndrome, and stroke-like episodes, all of which can be attributed to cerebral vasculitis. Uncommonly, limbic encephalitis may occur with neurorelapsing polychondritis.
Diagnostic Criteria for Relapsing Polychondritis
1. Recurrent chondritis of both auricles
2. Nonerosive seronegative in ammatory polychondritis 3 . I n  ammation of ocular structures ( uveitis , keratitis ,
scleritis , and / or episcleritis )
4. Chondritis of the respiratory tract involving laryngeal or tracheal cartilage
5. Cochlear and/or vestibular damage causing sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and/or vertigo
Diagnosis is established if (1) the patient has three of the above clinical criteria, (2) the patient has one criteria with cartilage biopsy conformation, or (3) chondritis at two or more separate anatomical locations with respond to steroid therapy.
