Clues for inflammatory diseases in the differential diagnosis of a child with sacroiliitis.

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA), familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which are inflammatory diseases that may develop sacroiliitis. Thus, it was aimed to reveal various findings that may indicate primary disease in patients with sacroiliitis.

Methods: Pediatric patients aged 6-18 years, who were being followed with a diagnosis of ERA (n = 62), FMF (n = 590), and IBD (n = 56) over the period 2013-2021 were included in the study.

Radiologic manifestation of a BCS1L-mutated patient.

There are various phenotypes of mutations in BCS1L which encode a mitochondrial inner membrane protein that facilitates the insertion of Rieske iron-sulfur protein into respiratory chain complex III. Herein we report the radiologic findings of a patient with bc1 synthesis-like (BCS1L) gene mutation who was presented with convulsions.
