Abstract
We report a case of acute sacroiliitis with severe disability after only 3 weeks of isotretinoin therapy with graduate reduction of pain, limitation and muscle incompetence after discontinuation of the drug and ACTH-depo injection and Ethodolac therapy. Naranjo probability scale indicated a probable relationship between isotretinoin therapy and bilateral sacroiliitis. We discussed possible mechanisms of sacroiliitis and disability due to isotretinoin treatment.Entities:
