Abstract

The atlantoaxial subluxation and the formation of a synovial periodontoid pannus are associated with rheumatoid arthritis causing mechanical compression of the spinal cord and cervical myelopathy. Atlantoaxial subluxation is very rare in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Even more rare is the formation of a periodontoid synovial pannus associated with PsA and signs of myelopathy. In this report, cervical myelopathy caused by periodontoid synovial pannus in PsA is described.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
