Juvenile spondyloarthritis (SpA) affects patients below the age of 16 and mainly presents with peripheral involvement. Many atypical clinical presentations were reported in the adult SpA, but not in the juvenile group. We report a case of non-radiographic axial SpA in a 14-year-old girl presented atypically with muscle weakness and hyperthyroidism. She had sacroiliitis evident by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with negative HLA-B27. Muscle biopsy showed fasciitis. She responded well to adalimumab and thyroid functions returned to normal values.
青少年脊柱关节炎(SpA)影响16岁以下的患者,主要表现为外周关节受累。成人SpA有许多非典型临床表现的报道,但青少年组未见此类报道。我们报告一例14岁女孩的非放射学中轴型SpA,其表现不典型,有肌肉无力和甲状腺功能亢进。磁共振成像(MRI)显示她有骶髂关节炎,HLA-B27阴性。肌肉活检显示为筋膜炎。她对阿达木单抗反应良好,甲状腺功能恢复到正常水平。
