A 7-Year-Old Girl with Limping and Leg Pain

Le résumé fourni par la source

AbstractMorning Report is a time-honored tradition where physicians-in-training present cases to their colleagues and clinical experts to collaboratively examine an interesting patient presentation. The Morning Report section seeks to carry on this tradition by presenting a patient's chief concern and story, inviting the reader to develop a differential diagnosis and discover the diagnosis alongside the authors of the case. This report examines the case of a previously healthy 7-year-old girl who presented with leg pain and a limp for 6 weeks without any preceding trauma. Using questions, physical examination, and testing, an illness script for the presentation emerges. As the clinical course progresses, the differential is refined, a diagnosis is achieved, and a management plan is developed.
