Asymptomatic intraspinal epidermoid cyst in a 7-year-old male with juvenile idiopathic arthritis identified by an advanced physiotherapist practitioner: a case report.

Early signs of pediatric asymptomatic intraspinal epidermoid cysts included abnormal functional movement patterns, rigidity of spine, severely limited straight leg raise and hip flexion without pain. Advanced physiotherapist practitioners can be integral to pediatric rheumatology teams considering their basic knowledge in musculoskeletal examination and functional mobility assessment when identifying rare spinal conditions that present within the complex context of rheumatic diseases.
