Abstract
Limping is a common clinical symptom in childhood and the diagnosis of the underlying cause may often be a challenge for the paediatrician. The paper describes the clinical manifestations, radiological pictures and disease course of other causes of limping in childhood, through a series of seven cases and a brief discussion of each disease.
Riassunto
La zoppia è un sintomo clinico comune durante l'infanzia e la diagnosi della causa sottostante può spesso rappresentare una sfida per il pediatra. Si propone una descrizione di una presentazione clinica di frequente riscontro in Pediatria, tramite la discussione di 7 casi clinici che entrano in diagnosi differenziale con l’artrite idiopatica giovanile.
