Abstract
Intermittent hydrarthrosis is a disease characterized by inflammatory changes in the joints. The etiology of this ailment is unknown, however, a relationship with an allergic condition and endocrine disorders is noted. The clinical picture is characterized by a sudden onset. More often, the knee joints are involved in the pathological process, less often the ankle, hip. The joints of the hands are extremely rarely affected. In the absence of violations of the general condition against the background of a normal temperature, pain and swelling of one, possibly two joints suddenly appear. The joint increases in volume due to the accumulation of exudate. Periarticular tissues change slightly. The function of the joint suffers little. The disease is cyclical. In connection with the rare spread of intermittent hydrarthrosis, we present our own observation of such a patient.
