Overview
Overview
There are no MRI findings associated with the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome. However, an MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of arthropathy associated with neonatal-onset multi-system inflammatory disease (NOMID) which includes enlarged, heterogenous physis with hypointense calcifications and presence of popliteal lymph node.
