RESUMO

Introdução:

A hérnia discal na infância é rara. Apresenta etiologia controversa. As principais manifestações clínicas são dor e dificuldade na deambulação. A ressonância magnética tem sido considerada exame de eleição no diagnóstico e conduta. O tratamento inicial é conservador e, em caso de cirurgia, usar técnica minimamente invasiva.

Metodologia:

Artigo de revisão realizado com levantamento em base de dados Medline/Pubmed, SciELO e LILACS, incluindo um período de 1946 a 2010, com prioridade para artigos com maior relevância.

Resultados:

Foram analisados artigos relacionados à hérnia discal na infância, dos quais 39, revisados, resultaram no presente trabalho.

Conclusões:

Deve-se pensar na possibilidade de hérnia discal quando as crianças apresentam lombalgia ou restrição à deambulação, principalmente se houver história recente de trauma. Ressonância magnética é o exame de eleição no diagnóstico e conduta. O tratamento cirúrgico, através de técnicas minimamente invasivas, apresenta resultados satisfatórios.
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Disc herniation in childhood is a rare disease, and its etiology is still controversial. The main clinical features are back pain and walking difficulty. Magnetic resonance is considered the method of choice for diagnosis and therapeutic decision. Initial treatment is conservative and in surgical cases, minimally invasive techniques should be used.

Method:

Review article of a survey conducted in the Medline/PubMed, SciELO and LILACS databases, including a period from 1946 to 2010, giving priority to the most relevant articles.

Results:

We reviewed articles related to disc herniation in childhood, of which 39 have been revised and resulted in this work.

Conclusions:

Due to its low prevalence in the pediatric group, the hernia is often misdiagnosed. However, the presence of low back pain and restriction in walking, especially if there is a recent history of trauma associated, should alert health professionals to this etiologic possibility. MRI is the method of choice for diagnosis and management. Surgical treatment using minimally invasive techniques provides satisfactory results.
