Deskripsi
Neuroarthropathy occurs following the loss of pain sensation in a joint. Martin Charcot was the first researcher who explained this strange, non-infectious destruction of bone and joints. This disease mostly affects the lower extremity of patients, especially their feet and ankle. In this paper, we present a rare case of simultaneous neuroarthropathy in the wrist and ankle of a 39-year-old man with no history of diabetes. Simultaneous neuroarthropathy of two joints and its occurrence in uncommon parts of the body like the wrist is quite rare and might lead to misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment.
