  • Title: Magnetic resonance imaging of muscular involvement in juvenile dermatomyositis: case report.
    Author: Alicioglu B, Karakas HM, Firat AK.
    Journal: Prague Med Rep; 2008; 109(4):315-20. PubMed ID: 19537682.
    Abstract:
    A case of 5 year old juvenile patient with dermatomyositis together with conventional and diffusion-weighted MRI images is reported. The reported case was atypical for the pattern of involvement of the accompanying oedema which was affecting distal parts of the extremities and anterior muscle groups. Electromyography was negative. The case confirmed by a pathologist demonstrates the use of diffusion weighted imaging in determining unequivocal oedema and its exact extent.
