Cervical and Thoracic Intervertebral Disc Calaification in 6 an Year Old Girl: A Case Report / 대한정형외과학회잡지

ABSTRACT

Intervertebral disc calcification is rare in children, and known as a spine disease of unknown cause. Since the original description by Baron in 1924, about 200 cases have been reported worldwide. This disease is usually self-limited and responds to a conservative management unless there is an evidence of disc herniation into the spinal canal with associated neural symptoms. We experienced a case of intervertebral disc calcification in a 6-year-old girl and report the clinical and radiographic findings in detail.
