Le syndrome de camptodactylie-arthropathie-coxa-vara-péricardite : à propos d'un cas.

Camptodactyly-arthropathy-coxa vara-pericarditis syndrome (CACP) is a rare hereditary disease of childhood, characterized by camptodactyly, non-inflammatory arthropathy, progressive coxa vara deformity and non-inflammatory sterile pericarditis. Due to the predominant joint involvement in childhood, CACP is often misdiagnosed as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), leading to delayed diagnosis and unwarranted treatment with antirheumatic drugs. Delayed diagnosis can lead to serious complications such as joint deformities and cardiovascular dysfunction. This case report illustrates once again the diagnostic difficulties associated with this rare syndrome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
