ABSTRACT
Articular manifestations may be the onset of genetic alpha galactosidase deficiency (Fabry's disease). Ultrastructural study shows typical osmiophilic lamellar inclusions of trihexosylceramides in synoviocytes, capillaries and adipocytes. Furthermore microcrystals identical to those seen in Gaucher's disease and type II hyperlipoproteinemia were observed in mitochondria and free in cytoplasm. These data suggest a microcrystalline pathogenesis of these arthropathies, as in gout and chondrocalcinosis, and what we have generally called crystallopathic arthropathies.
