A member asked:
Does early stages of spondyloarthopathy in childern always show up on mri? can you have it and mri come back normal? does enthesopathy shoe up on mri?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. MRI doesn't : Show the abnormality 100% of the time. A positive MRI result confirms the DX but a negative one does not exclude it. That's the mystery and art of medicine. Once abnormal , it stays abnormal. Enthesopathy does show up on mri. Your child needs to follow up with a pediatric rheumatologist ! god bless u! (pls read link below).
