Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is the most common musculoskeletal disorder in children. The temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are involved in majority of cases, and detection of early arthritic changes in these joints relies on contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, with the paucity of evidence and consensus on the normal and pathologic changes in this small but complex joint, interpretation of TMJ MRIs remains to be difficult. This exhibit presents the normal growth related and arthritis related variations in the disease progression in TMJ MRIs of JIA patients. Read More

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis is a common yet often overlooked manifestation of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), affecting up to 40% of patients. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is regarded as the gold standard for identifying early inflammatory abnormalities and structural damage. Despite widespread recognition of TMJ involvement in JIA, the prevalence and clinical significance of asymptomatic disease remain incompletely understood. We aimed to determine the frequency and imaging characteristics of TMJ involvement, including asymptomatic cases, in a 10-year cohort of children and adolescents with JIA. Read More
