Abstract
-
PURPOSE: Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease(CPPD) is a disease of the elderly and extremely rare in young individuals. If young people develop CPPD crystal deposition disease, it may be associated with metabolic diseases, such as hemochromatosis, hyperparathyroidism, hypophosphatasia, hypomagnesemia, Wilson's disease, hypothyroidism, and gout.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Therefore, in young-onset CPPD crystal deposition disease, an investigation of any predisposing metabolic conditions is warranted.
CONCLUSION
We report a case of a young female patient who presented with idiopathic CPPD crystal deposition disease at 25 years of age.
