AI Article Synopsis
- Rheumatic disorders in children encompass a range of conditions including inflammatory arthritis, bone disorders like chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO), connective tissue disorders, and vasculitides (e.g., juvenile dermatomyositis, scleroderma).
- Diagnosis relies on patient history, clinical exams, lab tests, and importantly, radiographs help identify issues in atypical cases and assess disease damage.
- The review provides an in-depth look at when to use radiographs and their benefits, along with a structured reporting format for evaluating these images in pediatric rheumatic disorders.
Article Abstract
Rheumatic disorders in children include inflammatory arthritis, inflammatory bone disorders such as chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO), connective tissue disorders, and vasculitides (juvenile dermatomyositis, scleroderma). The diagnosis in these children is based on a combination of history, clinical examination, and laboratory investigations. Radiographs play an important role in children with arthritis, who have atypical presentation or for assessment of disease-related damage and differentiation from mimics. Further, radiographs also have an ancillary role in the assessment of musculoskeletal disorders such as dermatomyositis and hemophilia. This review seeks to present a detailed analysis of the specific indications and advantages of radiographs in the situations. Further, a structured reporting format for assessment of radiographs in pediatric rheumatic disorders has also been presented for the reader's reference.
