Radiological cervical spine involvement in young adults with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Radiological cervical spine involvement in JIA has already been assessed with a large range of prevalence (5-80%), but most studies were performed a long time ago, in symptomatic JIA and without differentiating subsets of JIA. We set out to describe structural cervical spine involvement in young adu...

Description
Summary:Radiological cervical spine involvement in JIA has already been assessed with a large range of prevalence (5-80%), but most studies were performed a long time ago, in symptomatic JIA and without differentiating subsets of JIA. We set out to describe structural cervical spine involvement in young adults with polyarticular JIA (pJIA) regardless of the cervical symptoms and to compare lesions with those observed in adult RA. All consecutive pJIAs followed in a transition programme were included. Standard radiographs of the cervical spine, hands, feet and hip were analysed by two independent radiologists blinded to the diagnosis. An RA control group (
