Imaging of systemic
vasculitis in childhood
Udomluck, Thorsang, Orawan R2
Systemic vasculitis
• Group of diseases
• Inflammation of the blood vessels
• Unclear etiology
• In 2006, the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) and the
Pediatric Rheumatology European Society (PReS) proposed an
updated classification of childhood vasculitis.
Takayasu arteritis
• Most common granulomatous inflammation of large arteries in children
• Can be life-threatening
• Early acute phase : nonspecific symptoms  hypertension, fever,
arthralgia
• Aorta and its main branches
• Arterial wall inflammation  concentric wall thickening  fibrosis 
consequent stenosis
• Less commonly: aneurysm
Takayasu arteritis
• EULAR/PReS criteria: angiographic abnormalities + at least 1/4
1. Decreased peripheral artery pulse or
claudication of the extremities
2. Discrepancy of four limbs SBP > 10 mmHg
difference in any limb
3. A bruit over the aorta or its major branches
4. Hypertension related to childhood
normative data criteria
The classification of Takayasu arteritis
• Type I : Supra-aortic arteries
• Type IIa : Only the ascending aorta or aortic arch
• Type IIb : Descending aorta with or without involvement of more
proximal portions of the aorta and aortic arch
• Type III : Descending thoracic aorta and abdominal portion or renal
arteries
• Type IV : Only the abdominal aorta or renal arteries
• Type V : Generalized involvement with a combination of other types
Kawasaki disease
• Acute febrile vasculitic syndrome of early childhood
• Predominantly between 6 months and 4 years of age
• Children outside that range  Lacked the classic clinical presentation
 Delayed diagnosis
• Medium-sized vessel systemic vasculitis : celiac, mesenteric, renal,
iliofemoral, proximal upper limb arteries, coronary artery
• Small aneurysms or stenotic segments
The EULAR/PReS classification criteria
• Fever for 5 days (mandatory) + 4 of the following findings:
(1) peripheral changes in the hands and feet
(erythema, edema, desquamation, rash) or
perianal area
(2) polymorphus exanthema
(3) bilateral conjunctival injection
(4) injection of oral and pharyngeal mucosa
(5) Cervical lymphadenopathy
The American Heart Association
Consider the diagnosis of Kawasaki disease:
fever for 5 days or more and < 4 principal features disease
+ coronary artery disease (detected by 2-D echocardiography or
coronary angiography)
A child with unexplained fever for 5 days or more + any of the
principal features of Kawasaki disease
Role of imaging
• Delayed treatment with IV immunoglobulin beyond 10 days of onset
of fever increases the risk of coronary aneurysms
• Imaging does not have a pivotal role in the initial diagnosis of
Kawasaki disease
• Important in the assessment of its more serious and potentially fatal
complications
• Echocardiography = imaging technique of choice
Echocardiography
• Early phases : myo- and pericarditis & periluminal echogenicity
• Subacute and convalescent phases : coronary artery aneurysms &
dilatation
Cardiac MRI
• Combined benefits of demonstrating coronary artery lesions &
myocardial perfusion, function and viability in the same time
• Detect distal coronary artery aneurysms  might be missed in
echocardiography
MDCT angiography of the coronary arteries
• Limited  high radiation dose, misleading data due to coronary
calcifications (complication of longstanding coronary artery
aneurysms)
• Prospective ECG-triggered dual-source CT coronary angiography
 alternative diagnostic modality
PET scans
• Limited to assess inflammation in the coronary artery wall  Bec.
increased glucose utilization within the heart muscle
Childhood polyarteritis nodosa (c-PAN)
• Nongranulomatous anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic auto-antibody
(ANCA) negative vasculitis
• Affects medium- or small sized muscular arteries
The EULAR/PReS classification criteria
• A positive biopsy or angiographic evidence of aneurysms or occlusion
(mandatory) + 2/6 of the following findings:
(1) skin involvement (superficial and deep skin infarctions,
tender subcutanous nodules and livedo reticularis, which
is purplish reticular discoloration pattern of the skin)
(2) myalgia or muscle tenderness
(3) systemic hypertension
(4) mono- or polyneuropathy
(5) renal involvement (proteinuria, haematuria)
(6) testicular pain or tenderness
Conventional angiography using DSA
• Standard imaging modality for diagnosis of PAN
• Aneurysms, stenoses or occlusions of a medium- or small sized artery
• Color Doppler, MR angiography and CT angiography  compared to
DSA, they are less sensitive and might result in false-negative
• MR angiography  considerable stenotic lesions in small arteries
might be overestimated and diagnosed as complete occlusion
• Childhood polyarteritis nodosa. Multiple aneurysms on arteriogram
and autopsy specimen

skin lesions and cardiovascular manifestations
• Likely patients older than 20 years of age
• All sizes of both arteries and veins >> aneurysms or thrombosis
Behcet disease
• Commonly seen in the pulmonary arterial tree
>> Pulmonary artery aneurysms
 highly suggestive of Behcet disease
>> Thrombosis
>> Pulmonary infarctions
>> Ruptured aneurysm >> severe hemorrhage
• Brain
• Cerebral artery -- stenotic segments >> ischemia
• Thrombosis of the dural venous sinuses and venous infarcts
Behcet disease
MSK involvement in Behcet dz
• Asymmetrical, nonerosive, nondeforming arthralgia/arthritis in lower
extremities esp. knees
• May show joint effusion and soft tissue swelling
• Bone infarcts are less common
CNS findings in systemic vasculitis
• Primary form -- primary CNS vasculitis
• Part of a systemic inflammatory process – more common
• Manifestations
• Direct findings -- narrowing of the cerebral arteries
• Secondary to bleeding from the diseased small vessels
• MRI usually demonstrates high signal white matter foci in FLAIR and T2W
• Tumor mimic lesions
• Post contrast enhancement of the arterial wall = active inflammation
• MRA of the cerebral vessels might fail to identify vasculitis in small vessels
CNS findings in systemic vasculitis
• Normal MRI of the brain >> almost always excludes intracranial
vasculitis
• No pathognomonic MRI findings in vasculitis
• Biopsy would be required for the diagnosis
CNS findings in systemic vasculitis: bleeding
CNS findings in systemic vasculitis
CNS findings in systemic vasculitis
• DWI -- restricted diffusion in active vasculitic lesions of the brain
• Acute/subacute lesions may show elevated ADC -- the lesions disappear over
time suggesting a nonischemic mechanism
• DDx posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome
CNS vasculitis mimics
• Non-inflammatory vasculopathies
• Moyamoya disease
• Post irradiation
• Thromboembolic disease
• Hemoglobinopathies e.g. sickle cell disease
• Vasculopathies from rare genetic/metabolic d/o
>> Brain biopsy is sometimes needed for a definite diagnosis
MSK findings in childhood systemic vasculitis
• Arthralgia and arthritis
• up to 78% of patients with IgAV
• MRI helps early diagnosis of musculoskeletal changes in vasculitis
• BM edema
• Bone infarctions
• Synovitis, arthritis, joint effusion
• Insufficiency fractures
Bone infarction from large-dosed steroid use
Arthritis/synovitis from systemic vasculitis
Pulmonary findings in childhood systemic
vasculitis
• Wide spectrum of non-specific radiographic chest findings
• Most are non-vasculitic lung diseases
• Focal lesions, cavitary nodules, nodules with surrounding focal ground
glass pattern (halo sign) and early peribronchial thickening
• Ground glass pattern detected with CT of the lungs is more commonly
seen with EGPA
Pulmonary findings in childhood systemic
vasculitis
• Hemoptysis + diffuse alveolar infiltrates + Hct drop
• Imaging: alveolar opacities
Pulmonary vasculitis presented with
peripheral ground glass densities
Differential diagnosis
• Diagnosis can be challenging because of overlapping signs/symptoms
and non-specific imaging findings
• Unusual group of clinical manifestations involving multiple organ
systems
• Uveitis, rashes, arthritis or sinus troubles
• RPGN
• Pulmonary-renal syndrome
• Arterial wall thickening
• Takayasu arteritis
• Noninflammatory disorders e.g. fibromuscular dysplasia
• Inflammatory diseases e.g. tuberculosis, Behcet dz
• Developmental disorders such as aortic coarctation, mid-aortic
syndrome and Marfan syndrome can result in aortic stenosis and
aneurysms
• Diffuse ground glass pattern -- nonspecific for vasculitis
• DDx HP, pulmonary edema, sarcoidosis, alveolitis due to systemic sclerosis,
drug toxicity, opportunistic infection
Differential diagnosis
• Attenuated/occluded cerebral vessels and hyperintense FLAIR/T2W
white/gray matter foci
• DDx vasculitis, other inflammatory diseases e.g. viral encephalitis, Moyamoya
dz
Differential diagnosis
Conclusion
• Systemic vasculitides are uncommon in childhood
• No specific clinical features
• Angiography is not of much value in evaluation of GPA, EGPA and IgAV
• MRA is suggested in the assessment of Takayasu disease, Kawasaki disease
and C-PAN
• Chest HRCT has a role in the evaluation of GPA and EGPA
• CT of the sinuses in the evaluation of GPA and CTA in the evaluation of
Kawasaki disease
• Color Doppler ultrasound is useful in the diagnosis and follow-up of IgAV
and C-PAN

Pediatric vasculitis

  • 1. Imaging of systemic vasculitis in childhood Udomluck, Thorsang, Orawan R2
  • 2.
  • 3. Systemic vasculitis • Group of diseases • Inflammation of the blood vessels • Unclear etiology • In 2006, the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) and the Pediatric Rheumatology European Society (PReS) proposed an updated classification of childhood vasculitis.
  • 4.
  • 5.
  • 6. Takayasu arteritis • Most common granulomatous inflammation of large arteries in children • Can be life-threatening • Early acute phase : nonspecific symptoms  hypertension, fever, arthralgia • Aorta and its main branches • Arterial wall inflammation  concentric wall thickening  fibrosis  consequent stenosis • Less commonly: aneurysm
  • 7. Takayasu arteritis • EULAR/PReS criteria: angiographic abnormalities + at least 1/4 1. Decreased peripheral artery pulse or claudication of the extremities 2. Discrepancy of four limbs SBP > 10 mmHg difference in any limb 3. A bruit over the aorta or its major branches 4. Hypertension related to childhood normative data criteria
  • 8. The classification of Takayasu arteritis • Type I : Supra-aortic arteries • Type IIa : Only the ascending aorta or aortic arch • Type IIb : Descending aorta with or without involvement of more proximal portions of the aorta and aortic arch • Type III : Descending thoracic aorta and abdominal portion or renal arteries • Type IV : Only the abdominal aorta or renal arteries • Type V : Generalized involvement with a combination of other types
  • 9.
  • 10.
  • 11.
  • 12.
  • 13.
  • 14.
  • 15.
  • 16. Kawasaki disease • Acute febrile vasculitic syndrome of early childhood • Predominantly between 6 months and 4 years of age • Children outside that range  Lacked the classic clinical presentation  Delayed diagnosis • Medium-sized vessel systemic vasculitis : celiac, mesenteric, renal, iliofemoral, proximal upper limb arteries, coronary artery • Small aneurysms or stenotic segments
  • 17. The EULAR/PReS classification criteria • Fever for 5 days (mandatory) + 4 of the following findings: (1) peripheral changes in the hands and feet (erythema, edema, desquamation, rash) or perianal area (2) polymorphus exanthema (3) bilateral conjunctival injection (4) injection of oral and pharyngeal mucosa (5) Cervical lymphadenopathy
  • 18. The American Heart Association Consider the diagnosis of Kawasaki disease: fever for 5 days or more and < 4 principal features disease + coronary artery disease (detected by 2-D echocardiography or coronary angiography) A child with unexplained fever for 5 days or more + any of the principal features of Kawasaki disease
  • 19. Role of imaging • Delayed treatment with IV immunoglobulin beyond 10 days of onset of fever increases the risk of coronary aneurysms • Imaging does not have a pivotal role in the initial diagnosis of Kawasaki disease • Important in the assessment of its more serious and potentially fatal complications • Echocardiography = imaging technique of choice
  • 20. Echocardiography • Early phases : myo- and pericarditis & periluminal echogenicity • Subacute and convalescent phases : coronary artery aneurysms & dilatation
  • 21. Cardiac MRI • Combined benefits of demonstrating coronary artery lesions & myocardial perfusion, function and viability in the same time • Detect distal coronary artery aneurysms  might be missed in echocardiography
  • 22. MDCT angiography of the coronary arteries • Limited  high radiation dose, misleading data due to coronary calcifications (complication of longstanding coronary artery aneurysms) • Prospective ECG-triggered dual-source CT coronary angiography  alternative diagnostic modality
  • 23. PET scans • Limited to assess inflammation in the coronary artery wall  Bec. increased glucose utilization within the heart muscle
  • 24. Childhood polyarteritis nodosa (c-PAN) • Nongranulomatous anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic auto-antibody (ANCA) negative vasculitis • Affects medium- or small sized muscular arteries
  • 25. The EULAR/PReS classification criteria • A positive biopsy or angiographic evidence of aneurysms or occlusion (mandatory) + 2/6 of the following findings: (1) skin involvement (superficial and deep skin infarctions, tender subcutanous nodules and livedo reticularis, which is purplish reticular discoloration pattern of the skin) (2) myalgia or muscle tenderness (3) systemic hypertension (4) mono- or polyneuropathy (5) renal involvement (proteinuria, haematuria) (6) testicular pain or tenderness
  • 26. Conventional angiography using DSA • Standard imaging modality for diagnosis of PAN • Aneurysms, stenoses or occlusions of a medium- or small sized artery • Color Doppler, MR angiography and CT angiography  compared to DSA, they are less sensitive and might result in false-negative • MR angiography  considerable stenotic lesions in small arteries might be overestimated and diagnosed as complete occlusion
  • 27. • Childhood polyarteritis nodosa. Multiple aneurysms on arteriogram and autopsy specimen
  • 28.
  • 29. ANCA (+) Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA)
  • 30.

  • 35. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) 1. Hematuria/proteinuria 2. Granulomatous inflammation 3. Nasal sinus inflammation 4. Subglottic/tracheal/ endobronchial stenosis 1. Abnormal chest imaging 2. PR 3 ANCA or c-ANCA staining
  • 36. • Subglottic tracheal and bronchial stenosis • Focal/diffuse • DDx prolonged intubation, TB, amyloidosis or adenoid cystic tumors • Long-standing bronchial stenosis >> recurrent chest infection and lung collapse Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA)
  • 37. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) 1. Hematuria/proteinuria 2. Granulomatous inflammation 3. Nasal sinus inflammation 4. Subglottic/tracheal/ endobronchial stenosis 1. Abnormal chest imaging 2. PR 3 ANCA or c-ANCA staining

  • 42. Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) • ANCA-associated vasculitis • Involves lungs and kidneys • No upper airway and non-granulomatous inflammation • p-ANCA; directed against the myeloperoxidase Ag • Pulmonary capillaritis >> pulmonary hemorrhage + renal dz
  • 44. ANCA (+) Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA)
  • 45. Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) • Churg-Strauss syndrome • Necrotizing granulomatous inflammation • Involves respiratory tract • predominately affects small and medium vessels • associated with asthma and eosinophilia • ANCA positivity is more frequently seen with GN
  • 46. • EULAR/PreS classification: 4/6 Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) 1. Asthma 2. > 10% Eo in WBC count 3. Mono-/polyneuropathy from systemic vasculitis 4. Migratory/transient pulmonary opacities 5. Paranasal sinus abnormalities 6. Extravascular Eos in a biopsy
  • 47. • Transient, bilateral consolidation with symmetrically peripheral location (90% of patients) • +/- Peribronchial or patchy random distribution • +/- Septal lines (50% of patients) Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA)
  • 48. Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA)

  1. uncommon in childhood and is frequently subjected to a delayed diagnosis Improvement in therapy and understanding of the etiopathogenesis of vasculitis have driven the need for better descriptors and groupings of diseases that have culminated in various classification criteria for vasculitis
  2. less commonly: aneurysm with the risk of development of mural thrombosis
  3. Claudication = focal muscle pain, induced by physical activity Bruit = audible murmur or palpable thrill Hypertension = > 95th percentile for height
  4. Type I : Supra-aortic arteries Type IIa : Only the ascending aorta or aortic arch Type IIb : Descending aorta with or without involvement of more proximal portions of the aorta and aortic arch Type III : Descending thoracic aorta and abdominal portion or renal arteries Type IV : Only the abdominal aorta or renal arteries Type V : Generalized involvement with a combination of other types
  5. - Evaluation of the vessel lumen is best seen by conventional angiography using digital subtraction technique (DSA), which has been considered the reference standard imaging modality - MR angiography might overestimate significant stenotic lesions showing them as occluded arteries
  6. Ultrasound + color Doppler is capable of evaluating the morphology of the aneurysm, which may present with turbulent flow and possible thrombosis The field of view is small in US Ultrasound cannot determine disease activity contrast to gadolinium-enhanced MRI  is capable of early diagnosis of inflammatory changes in the arterial wall before significant wall thickness becomes apparent
