History A 10-year-old North Indian boy presented with swelling of multiple joints in his hands for the past 3 years. This swelling involved the small joints of his hands and some restriction of joint movement, without any associated tenderness or morning stiffness. No other joints were symptomatically involved. Prior to visiting our hospital, he had received disease-modifying antirheumatoid drugs for suspected juvenile idiopathic arthritis, without any clinical benefit. On examination, the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints were nontender but had swelling and flexion deformities. He also had a short stature (below the third centile) for his age. Inflammatory markers, including erythrocyte sedimentation rate (7 mm per hour; normal range, 0-22 mm per hour) and C-reactive protein level (1.5 mg/L; normal level, <10 mg/L), were normal, and the rheumatoid factor test result was negative. A skeletal survey of the patient was performed and is shown in Figures 1-6.
