[Anatomo-topographical characteristics of various acupuncture points in children]

Peculiarities of layer-by-layer topography of tissues within the limits of the needle depth of certain acupuncture points of wide spectrum of action have been studied in children of early age. This investigation on anatomical topographic peculiarities of acupuncture points in children is necessary for ensuring security of needle reflexotherapy.
