Localized scleroderma, a distinct form, presents unique imaging findings in children and adolescents. Key observations include limb length discrepancies, muscle atrophy, and, in some cases, intracranial abnormalities associated with facial deformities.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Radiology
  • Dermatology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Localized scleroderma is a distinct condition from diffuse scleroderma, lacking Raynaud's phenomenon and visceral involvement.
  • This study focuses on the imaging characteristics of localized scleroderma in pediatric patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and describe the imaging features of localized scleroderma in children and adolescents.
  • To correlate imaging findings with clinical presentations.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of imaging studies (CT, MR) in 23 pediatric patients diagnosed with localized scleroderma.
  • Analysis of imaging findings in relation to clinical manifestations.

Main Results:

  • Common findings include leg length discrepancy and muscle atrophy (5/23 patients).

  • Facial deformities like "en coup de sabre" were associated with intracranial calcifications and white matter abnormalities (3/23 patients).
  • Imaging revealed positive findings in 50% of patients examined in clinically affected areas.

    • Conclusions:

    • Imaging plays a crucial role in identifying the musculoskeletal and neurological complications of localized scleroderma in pediatric patients.
    • Specific imaging findings can aid in diagnosis and management planning for localized scleroderma.
