Endén K et al. - Inflammatory changes of the cervical spine are common, and growth disturbances of cervical vertebrae in patients with JIA have been described previously. The authors found that patients with severe complicated JIA have a smaller cervical vertebral body size in general. They also have more differences in the sizes of their own vertebrae, representing growth disturbances of individual vertebral bodies. This is probably caused by the inflammatory disease and/or its more aggressive pharmacotherapy. The spinal canal diameter was only slightly smaller in the sJIA group. Thus the disturbed growth of the vertebral body in sJIA does not, in general, increase the risk of spinal canal compression.
