Zusammenfassung:Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) deposition in the joints, often referred to as pseudogout, can lead to debilitating arthritis. Rare cases of pseudogout associated with bisphosphonate therapy have been reported in the literature, although the mechanism for this remains unclear. We report a case of a 53-year-old female who developed an acute pseudogout attack following administration of zoledronic acid for treatment of osteoporosis.
