대한방사선의학회지 1996: 35(5) : 793-797 결과를기초로병변주위의해부학적구조와연계하여골병변의원인을추정하여보았다. 결과단순방사선사진소견상대전자와화골병변은동일한양상의방사선학적골파괴양상을보였다. 12예에서공통적언소견으로피질골의외측에만성적인미란을보였는데그정도는경미한미란에서부터피질골의완전한파괴까지다양한정도의골파괴를보였다 (Fig. 1, 2). 2예에서는피질골의완전한파괴와함께해면골의파괴까지동반되어진행된성한골수염과유사한소견을보였으며원래형태가소실되어있었다 (Fig. 3). 미란의형태는그진행정도에따라다양하였으며경미한경우에는미란과정상피질골이흔재하여피질골의외측이불규칙한모양을보이며 (Fig. 1) 미란이진행될수록압흔 (thumb printing) 또는정상형태의소설로나타났다. 이러한미란주위의해면골의소견은경화성변화 (sclerosis) 가 8예에서관찰되어가장흔하였고 5예에서는골막반응이관찰되었는데모두미란의변연에위치한고형 (solid type) 의양상으로나타났다. 이러한골파괴소견외에병변주위연부조직에다양한크기의골편이 8예에서관찰되었는데병변의피질골에서파괴되어떨어져나온부골로생각되었다.12예에서는주위연부조직에다양한형태의석회화음영을보여연부조직의만성적병변을시사하였다 (Table 1). 고찰골염 (osteitis) 이발생하는경로는일차적원인으로혈 류를통한혈행성골수엽이가장흔하며이차적원언으로 는골주위연부조직의염증성질환즉봉와직염 (cellulitis), 결핵성한냉농양 (cold abscess) 또는드물게골주 위에발생한활액낭엽 (bursitis) 이그원인이될수있다. 대전자의결핵성골병변은 1870 년 Teale 가처음발표하였 으며그빈도는근골격계에발생하는결핵의 1-2% 정도 로보고되고있다 (2-4). 그러나좌골에발생하는결핵은 극히드블어증례보고정도가발표되어있다 (5). Alvick 등 (3) 은 36 예의결핵성대전자염 (tuberculous trochanteritis) 을보고하였으며 11 예는결핵성요추염과척추주 위한냉농양이동반되어있어직접파급에의한병변으로 Fig. 1.

함소희외 대전자와좌콜결핵성병변 추정하였고 25예는혈행성파급또는주위활액낭염에의한이차적병변으로생각하였다. 특히초기병변이골막반 Fig. 2. Right hip anteroposterior radiograph of case 4 shows a ragged irregular contour of the greater trochanter, some loss of bone in this area and amorphous calcifications(arrowhead) or sequestrum(arrow) in the soft tissues lateral to the trochanter 응또는골피질의외면에골미란소견을단순X선사진상에서보였다면주변활액낭염에의한이차적병변일가능성이높다하였다. Lampe 등 (6) 은 17예의보고에서골내에국한된병소가있는것을발견하여이러한병변이골자체에서시작된일차적병변이라고추정하였다. Lindahl( 4) 은결핵성대전자염 35예를보고하였는데 10예는활액냥에국한된경우로방사선소견은정상이었고 25예는세가지양상의방사선소견을보였는데첫째는퇴행성변화와함께외측골피질에골염소견을보였고둘째양상은대전자에서떨어져나온골편이주변연부조직에보이는것이며셋째양상은대전자내에국한된골파괴양상을보이는것이었다. Donovan 등 (7) 의보고에의하면대전자에결핵성병변을가진 5예모두에서골병변과동반하여병리조직학적으로진단된활액냥염이발견되었고골병변의초기방사선소견은골피질의미란과함께연부조직에석회화를보였으며만성병변은대전자의상외측에골파괴와함께농양과농루 (sinus) 를형성하는것이특정이라하였는데본연구에서도유사한소견을보였고특히만성병변은농루를주소로오는경우가많았다 (Fig. 4). 본연구에서는좌골병병이 7예로 50% 였으나보고된연구는극히드블다. Chafetz 등 (5) 이 1 예보고하였는데 CT 소견상인접대둔좌골활액낭 (gluteoischial bursa) 의종창과함께추적검사에서인접좌골의정진적골파괴를보였으며결핵성활액낭염에의한이차적좌골염으로확진되었다. 이들연구의대전자와좌골의결핵성병변의방사선소견은세가지형태로분류하여볼수있다. 첫째는가장흔한소견으로펴질골의 Fig. 3.

대한밤사선의학회지 1996 : 35(5) : 793-797 다양한정도의미란인데본연구와일치하는소견이다. 둘째는피질골의변화없이해면골에국한된골파괴소견을보여병변이해면골에국한된골수염으로생각되는경우로써계속진행된다면본연구의완전한골파괴로보이는두예와같은소견을보일가능성이있을것이다. 셋째는부수적소견으로연부조직의변화인데석회화, 골편, 농루등의소견을보일수있다. 그리고이들연구에의하면대전자와좌골의결핵성병변은여러경로에의해발생할수있다. 즉첫째는대전자또는좌골로의혈행성파급에의한골수엽이데본연구에서심한골파괴를보였던 2예도이러한가능성을배제할수없다. 둘째경로는요추와주위조직에일차적으로발생한결핵성병변에서기원한한냉농양이파급되어직접골병변을유발하는것이다. 그러나본연구에서는폐외의다른부위에결핵성병변이없었기때문에이러할가능성은적다. 셋째경로는활액냥과같은병변주위의연부조직에결핵이혈행성감염이된후주위골조직에병변을일으키는것이다. 즉본연구에서와같은방사선소견 밀도의음영이보였고, 8예에서는미란주위해면골에경화성변화를동반하였는데수술후병리조직검사에서도주위연부조직과활액냥에서도결핵이확진봐었다. 이는주위연부조직에결핵성병변이선행되었고이차적으로만성적골병변을유발하였다는것을시사한다. 그러나골파괴가심하여원래의정상형태가소설된두예에서는병인추정이불가능하여골수염과활액낭염중어느것이선행질환인지알수없다. 결론적으로본연구의대전자와좌골의결핵성병변은만성적외적마란의특정적인방사선학적소견을보였 며이를바탕으로유추가능한병언의한가지가셜은이들병변이활액냥엽과같은골병변주위의연부조직에서기원한염증성질환에의해유발된것이라는것이나정확한병언을밝혀내기위해서는추적검사를하여점진적골미란의소견을연구하거나주위연부조직의변화를직접볼수있는전산화단층촬영또는자기공명영상소견을포함한연구가필요하리라생각된다. 을유발할가능성이많은병인이다. 그러나위와같은여러 보고는임상소견중심의연구이며방사선학적소견을기초 로한것은없었다. 즉병변의방사선학적소견보다는주위 참 고 C 그 τr 헌 연부조직과의해부학적연관성특히활액냥과의관계에기 초한병인추정이였다. 대전자외측에는대둔대전자활액 낭 (gluteotrochanteric bursa) 이대둔근과대전자사이에 위치하며좌골즈면과대둔근사이에는대둔좌골활액낭이 정상적으로위치하는데인체에서가장크며염증성질환이 비교적호발하는활액냥이다. 따라서여기에결핵성활액 낭염이발생하면대전자또는좌골에 1 차적골병변을유 발할수있다. 그러나이러한해부학적연관성이외에도이 들병변이골외의원인에의한것임을시사하는방사선학 적소견이본연구에서관찰되었는데즉대부분의예즉 14 예중 12 예에서외인성골파괴를시사하는외측피질골의 미란과함께골병변주위에부골또는석회화로보이는고 1.

Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the plain radiographic lindings 01 14 ptients with hist 이 ogically proven tuberculous osteitis involving the greater trochanter and. In each case, the lollowing were analyzed : morphology 01 bone destruction, including cortical erosion; periosteal reaction ; presence or abscence 01 calcilic shadows in adjacent soft tissue. On the basis 01 an analysis 01 radiographic leatures and correlation 01 the anatomy with adjacent structures we attempted to determine causes. Results : 01 the 14 cases evaluated, 12 showed varrious degrees 01 extrinsic erosion on the outer cortical bone 01 the greater trochanter and ; in two cases, bone destruction was so severe that the radiographic leatures 01 advanced perlorated osteomyelitis were simulated. In addition to lindings 01 bone destruction, in these twelve cases, the presence 01 sequestrum or calcilic shadows was seen in adjacent soft tissue Conclusion: Tuberculous osteitis in the greater trochanter and showed the characteristic lindings 01 chronic extrinsic erosion. On the basis 01 these lindings we can suggest that these lesions result Irom an extrinsic pathophysiologic cause such as adjacent bursitis.
