We present an adolescent girl with severe kyphoscoliosis and inability of walking due to progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia (PPD) who was initially misdiagnosed as Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis for 9 years. The lack of inflammatory joint involvement and inflammatory laboratory parameters, along with the characteristic radiological findings should raise suspicion for PPD.

Keywords: progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia, childhood, late diagnosis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, intensive rehabilitation treatment
