Best Practice Case Studies-JUVENILE IDEOPATHIC ARTHRITIS

Video Transcription

Video Summary

A seven-year-old male with suspected juvenile idiopathic arthritis presented with wrist and ankle pain. Radiographs showed bony demineralization and soft tissue swelling in the wrist, but no subluxation or joint effusion in the ankle. MRI revealed joint effusion, synovial thickening, and bone marrow edema in the wrist, indicating synovitis, with no bone erosion detected. Ankle MRI showed fluid in certain joints without erosion. In a different patient, ankylosis was observed in carpal bones. The findings align with juvenile idiopathic arthritis characteristics but show varying degrees of progression between patients.
