Abstract

Schnitzler´s syndrome is a rare acquired autoinflammatory disorder. Chronic urticarial rash and monoclonal gammopathy (mainly IgM, rarely IgG [1]) are essential components of the disease. Schnitzler´s syndrome can present itself with osseous lesions, often in the distal femur and proximal tibia or in the hip bones. We report a case with uncommon radiological manifestation.

Computrized Tomography (CT) of vertebral column (a-c). Axial view at C5-level (a). Coronal view; C5 of the cervical spine is highlighted by an arrow. Saggital view; C5 of the cervical spine is highlighted by an arrow. Accentuated extensive sclerosis of cervical vertebrae is detected.
