Introduction
Overview
Overview
There are no x-ray findings associated with the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome. However, an x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of arthropathy associated with neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID) which may indicate enlargement of the unossified physis leading to a mass-like lesion and later appearance of stippled calcifications.
