Abstract
BACKGROUND: Isotretinoin (ISO) is a synthetic vitamin A derivative which has been used for treatment-resistant acne vulgaris. Although most musculoskeletal side effects of ISO are common, including myalgia, arthralgia, and back pain, sacroiliitis is one of the uncommon side effects. ISO-induced sacroiliitis usually completely resolves within a few months by the cessation of the drug. CASE PRESENTATION: In this paper, we present a 26-year-old female patient with chronic sacroiliitis that was probably induced by ISO and not resolved by the discontinuation of the drug. CONCLUSION: In this patient, sacroiliitis was overlooked for three years. Therefore, ISO usage should be considered in the differential diagnosis of sacroiliitis and low back pain.
