A calcified cervical intervertebral disc in a child and a thoracic disc calcification in an adult with posterior herniation-radiographic, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings
Background. Nucleus pulposus calcification in children is a relatively rare but well known clinical syndrome, usually localized at the level of the cervical spine. The exact aetiology still remains uncertain. Calcifications of the intervertebral discs in adults differ from the childhood variety. They are mainly degenerative in nature and occur at the level of midthoracic and upper lumbar spine....
متن کاملCalcified thoracic disc with herniation of the nucleus pulposus in a child.
A twelve year old boy presented with acute cervical and interscapular pain, torticollis and low grade fever. The neurological examination was normal. Roentgenograms showed calcification of the T3-T4 disc and posterior herniation of the nucleus pulposus was demonstrated by computed tomography. A rapid and dramatic amelioration of the symptoms was produced by treatment with a non-steroidal anti-i...
متن کاملIntervertebral disc herniation in adolescents.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to review surgery-proven lumbar disc herniation in adolescents with an emphasis on the distinguishing features. METHODS Twenty-eight adolescents between 14 and 18 years old had lumbar discectomy after conservative treatment for 9 months. Indications for surgery were intractable pain and failure of conservative treatment for more than 6 weeks. Lumbar sp...
متن کاملChildren presenting with calcified disc herniation: a self-limiting process.
We present two cases of disc herniation associated with juvenile intervertebral disc calcification, a rare, self-limiting process which typically resolves with conservative treatment. Recognition of this entity prevents unnecessary diagnostic workup and possible surgical intervention. A review of the literature for this rare entity is discussed.
متن کاملInflammatory Processes Associated with Canine Intervertebral Disc Herniation
Intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH) is an important pathology in humans and also in dogs. While the molecular disease mechanisms are well investigated in humans, little is known about the inflammatory mediators in naturally occurring canine IVDH. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the involved proinflammatory cytokines in human IVDH are also key cytokines in canine IVDH an...
