If we see a subcoracoid bursa, we must differentiate sonographically or exceptionally on MRI between a real isolated subcoracoid bursa, a subcoracoid extension of the subdeltoid bursa, a coracobrachial bursa and a subcoracoid extension of the recess under the subscapularis (anatomically correct, this does not actually correspond to a bursa, as up to 98% of it communicates with the joint).

@pompermarioMD@Rheumatology Agree except for the anisotropy part, I think it's the myotendinous junction of the SSp muscle, probably in a hypermobile patient?
Lupic anticoagulant (LA):
• acute phase reactants (FVIII and CRP) may give false-negative and false-positive LA results, respectively (raised levels of FVIII shortening the aPTT).
• anticoagulant treatment: Without > LMWH > DOAC

@DandaDebashish ...but we know that inflammation in PsA begins from the enthesis and then can affect the whole joint. Also periarticular inflammation is more common in PsA than RA, as described in the first paper with the MRI images and in other recent studies.
@DandaDebashish Thank you for the papers, I find your observation very interesting, but I disagree with your statement that this is not a dactylitis. Every one of those images shows diffuse soft tissue swelling. It is indeed more prominent in the IP-joint...
