ABSTRACT
Intervertebral disc calcification in children is rare. We present a case of a 9yr old boy with acute neck pain and restricted neck movements without any antecedent trauma. Initial radiograph showed calcification of C4-5 disc.MRI demonstrated posterior disc herniation causing cord compression. The symptoms resolved with conservative treatment. It is a benign self limiting condition in children with most cases resolving with conservative treatment.
