Palindromic rheumatism A condition characterised by episodic articular or periarticular pain, often with redness. The pain may be intense but rarely lasts longer than 2 or 3 days and resolves totally afterwards with no sequelae.
Palindromic rheumatism is characterized by acute, recurrent attacks of inflammation in or near one or occasionally several joints with spontaneous resolution; pain and erythema can be as severe as gout.
