Abstract

Three female patients out of 40 psoriatics examined with scintigraphical methods (Tc-diphosphonate) were found to have a diffuse and circumscribed pathological increase of nuclide at the skull. These abarticular signes of proliferation at the bone-area indicate an early affection of skeleton of patients with psoriasis which is similar to the joint-scan that is mostly obtained in positive bone-scan.
