[Disk calcifications in children].

P Schmit, C Fauré, L Denarnaud

    Journal De Radiologie

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Intervertebral disk calcifications are common in children, often idiopathic and linked to infections or trauma. Conservative treatment is recommended due to generally uncomplicated outcomes, though rare complications like herniated discs can occur.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Radiology
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Intervertebral disk calcifications are frequently observed in pediatric patients.
    • Reported cases likely underestimate the true incidence of diagnosed lesions.
    • Cervical disc calcifications are often associated with recurrent ear, nose, and throat (ORL) infections or trauma.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the clinical presentation, etiology, and outcomes of intervertebral disk calcifications in children.
    • To evaluate the management strategies for pediatric disc calcifications based on case reports.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 33 pediatric cases with intervertebral disk calcifications.
    • Review of literature on diagnosed cases and their clinical courses.

    Main Results:

    • The majority of cases (31/33) were diagnosed as idiopathic.
    • Two cases had pre-existing conditions: juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and Williams and Van Beuren's syndrome.
    • Most cases (31/33) had an uncomplicated course with symptom resolution; two cases developed complications including disabling dysphagia and cervicobrachial neuralgia due to disc herniation.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric intervertebral disk calcifications typically follow an uncomplicated course, often resolving spontaneously.
    • Conservative management is advised due to the generally benign nature of these calcifications.
    • Rare complications such as disc herniation necessitate careful monitoring and consideration of treatment options.
