Abstract
This article discusses the clinical spectrum and characteristics of juvenile-onset spondyloarthropathies and includes a review of the demographic, clinical, radiographic (and other imaging techniques), and laboratory data of conditions, syndromes, and diseases making up this group. The pathogenic role of several factors in the context of adult-onset patients, but also in regards to studies already performed in juvenile-onset patients, is discussed.
