Abstract
Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS) is a rare condition characterized by urtic aria, arthralgias, deafness and amyloid nephropathy. The arthropathy i s poorly documented. We describe the arthropathy occurring in four cas es of MWS and discuss the management. Each patient developed recurrent bouts of transient synovitis. One patient developed a persistent ster ile pyoarthrosis.
