Gingival and Periungual Vasculopathy of Juvenile Dermatomyositis
New England Journal of Medicine, 2009Co-Authors: Lisa G Rider, Jane C. AtkinsonAbstract:A 16-year-old girl with Juvenile Dermatomyositis reported having had bleeding gums that had not responded to traditional dental treatment. Close examination of the mouth revealed markedly dilated capillaries in the attached gingiva, with bushy loop formations that spread over the lower teeth.

Juvenile Dermatomyositis presenting with anasarca a possible indicator of severe disease activity
The Journal of Pediatrics, 2001Co-Authors: Jeanne P Mitchell, Gregory J Dennis, Lisa G RiderAbstract:Abstract Juvenile Dermatomyositis is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the muscle, skin, and other organs. Although localized edema is a common feature of Juvenile Dermatomyositis, generalized edema has been reported infrequently. We describe a patient with Juvenile Dermatomyositis presenting with anasarca and note that generalized edema has been associated with severe disease activity. (J Pediatr 2001;138:942-5)

Novel gastrointestinal tract manifestations in Juvenile Dermatomyositis
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1999Co-Authors: Benjamin L. Laskin, Peter L. Choyke, Gregory F. Keenan, Frederick W. Miller, Lisa G RiderAbstract:Abstract We report a case of Juvenile Dermatomyositis in which a dilated atonic esophagus was associated with delayed gastric emptying and intestinal mucosal thickening, resulting in a radiographic “stacked coin” appearance. These findings, which can also occur in infectious, neoplastic, or other immune-mediated diseases, broaden the spectrum of gastrointestinal tract manifestations in Juvenile Dermatomyositis. Physicians should be alert for these treatable manifestations in children with myositis who present with unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms, which are reversible with immunosuppressive therapy.

Juvenile Dermatomyositis presenting with periorbital edema.
Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2006Co-Authors: Mehryar Taban, Julian D PerryAbstract:Juvenile Dermatomyositis is a rare disease that affects the skin and muscles. It often presents with a classic heliotrope eyelid rash. We present a case of Juvenile Dermatomyositis presenting with significant bilateral periorbital edema, with its complete resolution after systemic antiinflammatory therapy.

periorbital edema as the presenting sign of Juvenile Dermatomyositis
Pediatric Dermatology, 1999Co-Authors: Gina Sevigny, Barbara M. MathesAbstract:We report a case of Juvenile Dermatomyositis that presented with periorbital edema. Dermatomyositis is an autoimmune disorder with cutaneous manifestations including heliotrope patches, Gottron's papules, periungual telangiectasisas, and subcutaneous calcifications. Periorbital edema may accompany the classic heliotrope rash and, as in this case, may be the only presenting sign of Juvenile Dermatomyositis.
