Abstract

Infections and inflammatory conditions of immature musculoskeletal systems in pediatric patients also affect the adjacent muscles, connective tissues, and joints. Rapid diagnosis leading to appropriate treatment can significantly impact the occurrence of complications and mortality rates due to these conditions. When a radiologist becomes familiar with the imaging findings of pediatric musculoskeletal infections and inflammatory diseases, rapid differential diagnoses and more timely and appropirate treatment could be possible. In this paper, we introduce the imaging findings of infectious and inflammatory diseases affecting the immature musculoskeletal system, such as osteomyelitis, pyogenic arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and hemophilic arthritis, based on the anatomical and pathophysiological characteristics of the immature musculoskeletal system in children.

소아 환자의 아직 미성숙한 근골격계 감염 및 염증성 질환은 뼈 뿐만 아니라 인접한 근육을 포함한 연조직 및 관절에 영향을 미친다. 빠른 진단을 통한 적절한 치료가 후유증 발생 여부나 질환에 의한 이환율 및 사망률에 큰 영향을 끼칠 수 있다. 소아 환자의 근골격계 감염 및 염증성 질환의 영상 소견에 익숙해진다면, 보다 빠른 진단을 가능하게 할 뿐 아니라 및 치료의 적절성 평가에도 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다. 이 논문에서는 소아의 미성숙한 근골격계의 해부학적 특징을 포함한 병리 생리학적 특징을 설명하고, 이를 바탕으로 하여 골수염, 연조직 감염 및 비감염성 염증성 관절 질환의 영상 소견을 소개하고자 한다.
