Neuropathic joints, which is also known as Charcot’s Arthropathy, is a destructive joint pathology resulting
from loss or decrease in proprioception, pain and temperature sensations. Patients suffering from diseases
associated with neuropathy like diabetes mellitus, syringomyelia and syphilis are said to be prone to the
disease. Patients with syringomyelia commonly suffer with arthropathy involving shoulder. We report a case
of 35 year old male patient with syringomyelia and charcot’s arthropathy involving left elbow.
