Ultrasound in juvenile idiopathic arthritis
BACKGROUND In the recent years, musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) has been regarded as especially promising in the assessment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), as a reliable method to precisely document and monitor the synovial inflammation process. MAIN CONTENT MSUS is particularly suited for examination of joints in children due to several advantages over other imaging modalities. Som...
متن کاملMulticentric Carpotarsal Osteolysis Mimicking Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Background Multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis (MCTO), a skeletal dysplasia presents in early childhood mimicking juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Recognition of this syndrome is essential to avoid unnecessary treatment with immunosuppressive agents because of different course and treatment. Case Report A 3-year-old boy presented with swelling and restriction of right wrist joint and left ...
متن کاملRole of ultrasound in the assessment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
US has demonstrated higher sensitivity in detecting synovitis, tenosynovitis and enthesitis than clinical examination in JIA. US has also allowed earlier assessment of cartilage and bone abnormalities than conventional radiology. Although it seems that US detects a high frequency of subclinical synovitis in JIA patients with clinically inactive disease, further studies are needed to clarify tho...
متن کاملRole of musculoskeletal ultrasound in juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Over the past decade, musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK-US) has been described by many rheumatologists as the ‘stethoscope’ of the joint. Unlike conventional radiography, an established imaging technique for identifying progressive joint damage, US is sensitive to soft tissue lesions and can detect early erosive bone lesions [1,2]. The development of higher frequency probes (12–18 MHz) and portab...
متن کاملJoint cartilage thickness measured by ultrasound in juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Purpose Joint cartilage degradation is one of the early outcomes in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). One of the primary goals of rheumatic treatment is to prevent joint destruction. We therefore need sensitive methods to evaluate cartilage thickness. Ultrasonography (US) has shown to be a reliable tool in the assessment of joint cartilage in rheumatic disease. We have previously been able t...
