7.9 Sjögren Syndrome (Myoepithelial Sialadenitis) 283
https://t.me/medicina_free
Signs on CT
In the acute phase, the aff ected glands are bilaterally enlarged with parenchymal nodules of variable size and formation of cysts, giving a honeycomb appearance (Fig. 7.9.2 ). The salivary glands often show signs of fi brosis and size shrinkage in advanced stages of the disease. The lacrimal glands might be bilaterally and symmetrically enlarged (Fig. 7.9.3 ).
Fig. 7.9.3. Sequential nonenhanced orbital CT images of the same patient with Sjögren syndrome (SS) show bilateral lacri­mal glands enlargement ( arrows )
Signs on Brain MRI
Brain MRI shows multifocal T2 hyperintensities located in the subcortical and periventricular white matter (Fig. 7.9.4 ), enlargement of the sulci, and ventricular dilatation. These manifestations are often seen in 50% of patients with focal neurological defi cits or psychiatric manifestations.

Behçet Disease
Behçet disease (BD) is a relatively rare rheumatologi­cal disease characterized by the triad of apthus oral ulcers, genital ulcers, and ocular infl ammation (uveitis). The disease is named after its fi rst describer, the Turkish dermatologist Hulusi Behçet, in 1937.
Clinical Criteria to Diagnose BD Require a Combination of Three or More of the Following Findings
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (79%). The 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 affecting the knees in particular. Meningoencephalitis. Cutaneous hyperactivity to minor trauma.
BD lesions are characterized by chronic infl ammation of the soft tissues with neutrophilic infi 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 affect the gastrointestinal tract (GI), large vessels (vasculitis and thrombophlebitis), muskuloskeletal 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 (AA-type) and glomerulonephritis.
Neuro-BD has three patterns of presentation: the fi 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.
The esophagus is involved in 50% of patients usu­ally in its mid-portion. Patients with esophageal involvement often 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 ). Thrombophlebitis may involve the hepatic veins resulting in Budd–Chiari syndrome (liver congestion and cirrhosis due to hepatic veins outfl ow obstruction).
GI manifestations of BD may mimic the manifesta­tions of Crohn’s disease (CD) radiologicaly, 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.
Diagnosis is essentially clinical, and atypical pre­sentation can be misleading and delay the diagnosis.
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.
Signs on MRI
In the muscles, myonecrosis presents with soft tissue infl ammation in the form of soft tissue mass with high signal intensity on T2W images and rim contrast enhancement on postgadolinium injection images. 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. 7.10.1 ). Brain stem lesions and atrophy can be seen.

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 RNase-sensitive ribonuclear pro­tein 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 spe­cifi 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 confi 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. 7.11.1 ).
Signs on Brain MRI
Optic or trigeminal neuritis is seen as contrast enhancement of the nerve after gadolinium injection due to the hyperemia and infl ammation (the normal nerve does not enhance after contrast injection). Transverse myelitis shows enlargement of the cord with diff use hyperintense signal of the spinal cord on T2W images in the aff ected segment (Fig. 7.11.2 ). The aff ected 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.”

Hemosiderosis and Hemochromatosis
Hemosiderosis , or iron overload, is a pathological con- dition characterized by deposition of excess iron within the body tissues that normally do not containing iron. Hemosiderosis is usually secondary to a primary cause such as multiple blood transfusion, chronic hemodial­ysis, or hemolytic anemia (e.g., thalassemia).
When iron is released into the cytoplasm, it enters a cellular compartment called “labile iron pool” (LIP). Both ferrous (Fe bound with proteins, and are highly toxic to the cells within this compartment. The unneeded iron from LIP is stored in the form of ferritin, which is organic and non­toxic. When the LIP iron content exceeds the ferritin capacity, hemosiderin is generated from ferritin denatur­ation. Iron in the form of hemosiderin is thought to be more toxic to the body tissues. Hemosiderin initially accumulates in the reticuloendothelial system (spleen, bone marrow, and Kupffer cells in the liver). When the reticuloendothelial system is saturated, deposition occurs in normal body tissues such as the hepatocytes, heart muscles, and the endocrine system. Chelation therapy (e.g., desferrioxamine) removes mainly the extracellular iron and only a fraction of the intracellular LIP iron.
Hemosideroses have different body manifestations according to the area of deposition:
Cardiac hemosiderosis : myocardial iron deposition results in dilated cardiomyopathy that will lead to heart failure.

Hepatic hemosiderosis : iron deposition in hepato-
cytes results in liver cirrhosis.
Signs on CT and MRI
On CT, the liver appears hyperdense compared to the spleen. On MRI, the liver appears extremely hypointense, with an almost black signal on all pulse sequences, depending on the severity of the iron overload. Anterior pituitary gland hemosiderosis : loss of the endocrine function of the anterior pituitary results in hypogonadism and loss of libido.
Signs on Chest Radiograph
The heart appears larger than normal in cases of cardiac damage and development of dilated cardiomyopathy.
Signs on MRI
MRI can detect early myocardial siderosis via obtaining T2* images, which show a dark, hypointense rim located within the myocardium in short-axis sequences, representing myocardial siderosis (Fig. 8.1.1 ).
Signs on MRI
The anterior pituitary shows a hypointense signal intensity area on both T1 and T2 images.
Pancreatic hemosiderosis : deposition of iron in the pancreases results in impairment of both exocrine and endocrine functions. Diabetes mellitus may result due to pancreatic siderosis.

Juvenile hemochromatosis is a form of hemochro-
Signs on US
The normal pancreas has almost the same echogenicity as the liver on ultrasound. In siderosis, the pancreas may appear hyperechoic compared to the liver, due to iron overload. Other causes of hyperechoic pancreas include fatty infi ltration and pancreatic calcifi cation.
Signs on MRI
Hypointense signal intensity areas are seen within the pancreas on both T1W and T2W images ).
Hemochromatosis is a disease characterized by depo- sition of excess iron in the body as a result of genetic defect (primary hemosiderosis).
In hemochromatosis, iron deposition initially occurs in the hepatocytes and spares Kupffer cells (the reverse situation to hemosiderosis). The age of presentation is usually between 50 and 60 years of age. Menstruation blood loss in women has a protective effect against hemochromatosis due to iron loss.
Hemochromatosis is asymptomatic in early stages. As the iron deposition progresses, liver failure, skin hyperpigmentation, arthropathy (especially in the meta­carpophalangeal joints), and cardiac failure may occur. Deposition of hemosiderin in the subcutaneous tissues results in increased skin tanning and dark ening.
Bronze diabetes is a term used to describe maturity- onset diabetes seen in hemochromatosis. The term “bronze” is used because the diabetes is associated with skin tanning that mimics bronze coloring.
Diagnosis is confi rmed by measuring serum ferritin level, transferrin saturation testing, liver biopsy, genetic testing, and MRI.
D i ff erential Diagnoses and Related Diseases
Bantu siderosis a type of hemosiderosis only found in Africa. It is associated with liver cirrhosis, diabe­tes, and heart disease. The disease is linked with higher rates of tuberculosis infection.
matosis that present in the second decade of life. Patients often present with abdominal pain, cardiac arrhythmias, impaired glucose tolerance, and hypog­onadotrophic hypogonadism.
Ferroportin disease is a genetic disease character-
ized by mutation in the gene responsible for the pro­duction of ferroportin, a protein that exports iron from body cells. Ferroportin is expressed mainly in Kupffer cells and splenic macrophages. Patients present with isolated hyperferritinaemia and normal or slightly elevated transferrin saturation. In contrast to hemochromatosis, iron is mainly deposited within Kupffer cells. Pulmonary hemosiderosis is a rare condition that arises due to repeated episodes of bleeding within the lung alveoli. Iron overload within the lungs results in pulmonary fi brosis, anemia, and (rarely) death due to pulmonary hemorrhage. The disease has an incidence of less than 1:1,000,000 live births, and occurs usually in children <7 years old (it is extremely rare in adults). Symptoms include cough­ing blood (hemoptysis) and iron-defi ciency anemia. Superfi cial brain siderosis : superfi cial siderosis of the brain is a condition characterized by deposition of hemosiderine within brain tissues, often second­ary to subdural hemorrhage and bleeding into the brain cisterns. When siderosis affects the vestibulo­cochlear nerve, tinnitus may result.
Signs on MRI
The liver appears extremely hypointense on all pulse sequences, depending on the iron overload severity. Muscles and kidneys may appear hyperintense, due to iron deposition. The spleen is characteristically spared and unaff ected in hemochromatosis. In contrast, the spleen is almost always aff ected in hemosiderosis. In superfi cial brain siderosis , a characteristic band of low T1 and T2 signal intensity is seen around the brain tissue, especially the pons, due to its location within the pontine cistern (Fig. 8.1.2 ).
