case_images: CT of the SIJ showed bone erosion of the left SIJ (Figure 1).
case_images: MRI of SIJ: (A) axial STIR sequence (TR 2500, TE 35) shows the hyperintense signal of left SIJ (arrow); (B) axial T1-weighted sequence (TR 450, TE 21) shows the hypointense signal of left SIJ; (C) DWI (TR 2000, TE 70) shows the hyperintense signal of left SIJ with edge blurring..

case_images: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) showed the hyperintense signal of the left SIJ with edge blurring, mainly indicating the sacroiliitis (Figure 2).
case_images: (A) Polarized microscopy revealed the urate acid crystals (arrow). (B) Histopathology of puncture objects did not show the tophus formation.

case_images: MRI of the SIJ: (A) axial T1-weighted sequence (TR 429, TE 12) shows the hypointense signal of the left side of the sacrum and ilium; (B) axial STIR sequence (TR 2400, TE 35): multiple bone marrow lesions, which appeared as edema involving the left side of the sacrum and ilium.. Abbreviations: MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; SIJ, sacroiliac joint; STIR, short tau inversion recovery; TR, repetition time; TE, echo time.
