Clinical-Genetic-Imaging Review of Autoinflammatory Diseases in Children: Single-Center Experience
Purpose or Case Report: 1. To review the contemporary literature and present an updated list of musculoskeletal and non-musculoskeletal imaging findings of patients with autoinflammatory diseases in our hospital. Most of these patients are found to have a genetic mutation that is responsible for their disease.
2. To present follow-up imaging findings, when available, and correlate those with patients’ symptoms and type of treatment administered in approximately 40 patients with autoinflammatory diseases such as Cryopyrin-associated autoinflammatory syndrome, familial Mediterranean fever, PAPA (pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenousum, and acne) syndrome and much more. These findings can be related to disease progression, treatment response or treatment-induced changes. Methods & Materials: Results: Conclusions:
