Two cases of Thiemann's disease in children are reported for the first time from North America. A history of swollen, tender proximal interphalangeal joints with radiographic evidence of irregularities of the epiphyses leading to premature fusion and subsequent shortening of the middle phalanges resulted in this diagnosis. Recognition of these features should lead to its more frequent diagnosis.
北美首次报告了两例儿童蒂曼病。近端指间关节肿胀、压痛的病史,以及骨骺不规则的影像学证据,导致骨骺过早融合,随后中节指骨缩短,从而得出这一诊断。认识到这些特征应能导致更频繁地做出诊断。
