Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Les Européens conservent en général l'appellation «chondrocalcinose articulaire», alors que les auteurs américains se réfèrent plus volontiers à la «maladie par dépôts de cristaux de pyrophosphate de calcium dihydraté» ou encore au «syndrome de pseudogoutte», désignant plutôt l'accès aigu microcristallin. On en exclut les troubles causés par d'autres cristaux calciques, par exemple l'hydroxyapatite responsable de la maladie des calcifications tendineuses multiples, mais qui semble aussi jouer un rôle pathogène intra-articulaire. 3, record 1, French, - chondrocalcinose%20articulaire
