MRI guided wire localization muscle biopsy in a child with juvenile dermatomyositis
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel technique for preoperative MRI guided wire localization for targeted surgical excisional biopsy of muscle is described in a pediatric patient with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). This technique allows for preoperative localization of abnormalities seen only with MRI. Using this technique, the patient underwent successful targeted muscle biopsy for confirmation of the diagnosis and staging of dermatomyositis.

Introduction MRI represents a promising tool in the assessment of disease activity in juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). Watersensitive sequences are very sensitive to the presence of inflammation and have the potential to support diagnosis, guide muscle biopsy and monitor treatment response. So far, all MRI studies in JDM focused on pelvic and thigh musculature. Whole-body(WB)-MRI screens the ent...

BACKGROUND Pediatric patients can present with skin manifestations of dermatomyositis without overt weakness (clinically amyopathic juvenile dermatomyositis [JDM]), but it is unclear how often this happens and how often they have subclinical muscle inflammation. OBJECTIVE Our goal was to determine the frequency of clinically amyopathic JDM and the frequency with which a thorough evaluation un...

OBJECTIVE To develop revised criteria for the diagnosis of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) using an international consensus process. METHODS An initial survey was circulated to members of the Network for JDM and the Paediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organisation (PRINTO). Each individual was asked to identify those criteria that were felt to be most helpful in the diagnosis of class...
