Abstract

Tuberculous arthritis on the sternoclavicular joint is an uncommon disease and a delayed diagnosis can be due to the obscure clinical symptoms. We should suspect tuberculous arthritis in patients with slowly progressive pain, swelling, mild fever and a previous history of tuberculosis. Early diagnosis is important through conducting a thorough physical examination and performing laboratory tests and radiologic study. Tuberculous arthritis on the sternoclavicular joint should be treated with a combination of systemic antituberculous agents and thorough surgical debridement in marked damaged joints. When performing this operation, it is important not only to minimized the injury of the costoclavicular ligament, but also to avoid injury to the surrounding the vital structures such as the mediastinum and pleura after aggressive resection or radical debridement. We describe here 2 cases of the tuberculous arthritis on the sternoclavicular joint: one case had a good result after surgical debridement with using an anti-tuberculous agent, and the other had fatal complications such as mediastinal abscess and pleural effusion after the operation.

흉쇄 관절의 결핵성 관절염은 매우 드문 질환으로 임상 증상이 뚜렷하지 않기 때문에 진단이 늦어지는 경우가 많다. 흉쇄 관절 부위의 점진적으로 진행하는 동통이나 종창, 미열이 있으면서 결핵의 과거력이 있는 경우에 결핵성 관절염을 의심해야 하고 혈액 검사, 방사선 검사, 조직 검사를 통한 조기 진단이 중요하다. 흉쇄 관절 결핵 관절염의 경우 1년 이상의 항결핵제 투여가 필요하며 증상의 호전이 없거나 증상이 진행되어 흉쇄 관절의 관절 파괴 소견이 보이는 경우 수술적 치료가 필요하게 되는데 수술적 치료 시 흉쇄 관절의 늑쇄골 인대의 손상을 최소화하면서 과도한 변연 절제술로 인해 흉쇄 관절의 주위의 종격동, 늑막 등의 중요 구조물이 손상되는 것을 피해야 한다. 저자들은 경험한 2예의 흉쇄 관절 결핵 관절염에서 변연 절제술로 증상의 호전을 가져온 1예와 변연 절제술 후 종격동 농양, 삼출성 늑막염 등의 합병증이 발생된 1예를 함께 보고하고자 한다.
