<v ->Now the causes of bursitis are many.
0:03
I mentioned that at the beginning.
0:04
I'll show you a few examples.
0:06
This is gout.
0:07
And generally when you're dealing with gout,
0:09
there'll be areas of persistent low signal,
0:12
even on fluid-sensitive sequences.
0:15
Here's another example of gout
0:16
involving the olecranon bursa.
0:19
Here is gout involving the deep infrapatellar bursa.
0:23
We'll be talking more about that later on.
0:27
When we deal with septic bursitis,
0:29
there are two particular bursae
0:31
that are most commonly involved.
0:33
The olecranon bursa,
0:34
and this one, which is the prepatellar bursa,
0:37
here communicating with the superficial infrapatellar bursa
0:42
that's tended with fluid.
0:44
And you can see the peripheral enhancement
0:47
with the gadolinium.
0:49
And another example.
0:50
This is septic olecranon bursitis,
0:53
which led to contamination of the olecranon,
0:56
hence osteomyelitis,
0:59
which then led to contamination of the joint.
1:02
And that would be then a septic arthritis.
1:06
And we deal also with an entity known as
1:09
hemorrhagic bursitis.
1:11
And this is typically associated
1:14
with coagulation abnormalities.
1:16
And we see it most commonly in the olecranon bursa,
1:20
but the other location that is fairly common shown here
1:24
is the prepatellar bursa.
