| Popis: | Musculoskeletal pain is the most common cause of presentation in rheumatology service. Most frequent causes of joint pain are noninflammatory conditions, with benign joint hypermobility syndrome (BJHS) being one of them. BJHS is not an actual disease but an inherited variation of normal. Some clinical features of this syndrome can lead to confusion with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) and therefore to unjustified treatment, which makes its recognition mandatory. A case of BJHS in a 11-year-old girl is presented; the patient was initially diagnosed as JIA and received immunosuppressive treatment for 2 years. |
