A 14-year-old girl with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)-associated uveitis who also had optic disc edema, was later diagnosed Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). To our knowledge, this is the fifth case of coexistence and IIH among children, only one no obvious risk factors for IIH.

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is the most common autoimmune systemic disease of the connective tissue affecting individuals at the developmental age. Radiography is the primary modality employed in the diagnostic imaging in order to identify changes typical of this disease entity and rule out other bone-related pathologies, such as neoplasms, posttraumatic changes, developmental defects and oth...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis is a severe and steroid-dependent disease that sometimes progresses to a fatal disease, macrophage activation syndrome. The investigation of proinflammatory cytokine levels revealed the increases of interleukin 6 in serum of systemic-onset disease. To avoid the disease progression and the adverse events of high-dose corticosteroids,...

Introduction Systemic onset Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SoJIA) is rare pediatric disease, it accounts for 10% of children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. The onset of disese can be vary nonspecific and may suggest bacterial or viral infection, malignancy or other rheumatic disease. It is highly characterised by its extra-articular systemic illness features and, in some ways, it resembles...

This disease has been defined as systemic arthritis by the International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) classification of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), 2 systemiconset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) by the American College of Rheumatology Classification, or systemic-onset juvenile chronic arthritis by the European League against Rheumatism classification. Diagnosis o...

Previously considered a chronic condition, enthesitis-related arthritis – a type of juvenile idiopathic arthritis – may in some cases represent a sensitivity-related illness and thus respond to antigenic avoidance and remediation of biochemistry. Enthesitis-related arthritis is a rare but serious cause of childhood disability and chronic pain that often leads to continuing complications in adul...

Macrophage activation syndrome, a severe complication of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis and other inflammatory diseases, represents one of the most important rheumatological emergencies. Delayed diagnosis could lead to life-threatening complications. Pulmonary hemosiderosis has been classically characterized by a triad of anemia, hemoptysis, and lung infiltrates on chest radiogram. Alth...

Objective To investigate the influence of arthritis in individual joint groups on subdimensions of functional ability questionnaires in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
