Atypical Power Doppler Ultrasound Findings in Juvenile Idiopathic Inflammatory Myositis (JIIM) Flare

Juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myositis (JIIM) is a multisystem inflammatory disease that impacts the muscles, skin, and blood vessels. Gray-scale power Doppler ultrasound is a technique that can be used to assist the diagnosis of JIIM and myositis in general. We report a case of an atypical sympt...

description Juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myositis (JIIM) is a multisystem inflammatory disease that impacts the muscles, skin, and blood vessels. Gray-scale power Doppler ultrasound is a technique that can be used to assist the diagnosis of JIIM and myositis in general. We report a case of an atypical symptomatic JIIM myositis flare that shows increased muscle echogenicity without the corresponding increase (complete absence) of Doppler flow.
