Familial articular chondrocalcinosis is a rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by deposits of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals (CPPD) in one or more joint cartilages resulting in eventual damage to the joints.
X-RAY demonstration of multiple articular chondrocalcinosis has been advanced as a useful preliminary diagnostic sign for pseudogout, a disease marked by deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals.1 When present, chondrocalcinosis is usually most evident in the knee joint, where in turn the menisci usually are most obviously involved.
