The forgotten crystal arthritis: calcium pyrophosphate deposition.

Abstract
Calcium pyrophosphate crystals are related to a variety of articular manifestations known as calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) arthritis. Acute CPPD arthritis is commonly known as pseudogout, but there are many other presentations. Diverse endocrine and metabolic diseases may be related to CPPD arthritis. Septic arthritis is in the differential diagnosis of acute CPPD arthritis. The treatment options for CPPD arthritis include non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and steroids.
