Abstract：
Idiopathic intervertebral disc calcification is a rare condition in children with a very good prognosis. As there are no biological markers, imaging is invaluable for diagnosing this \"do not touch\" lesion. While the characteristic feature is nucleus pulposus calcification at one or more cervical or thoracic levels, it is important that practitioners be able to recognize atypical patterns so that biopsy can be avoided. Here we report a case of pediatric idiopathic intervertebral disc calcification with contiguous vertebral involvement and anterior longitudinal ligament ossification.
摘要：
特发性椎间盘钙化是儿童的罕见疾病，预后非常好。因为没有生物标记,影像学检查对于诊断这种“请勿触摸”病变是非常宝贵的。虽然特征性特征是一个或多个颈部或胸部水平的髓核钙化，重要的是，医生能够识别非典型模式，从而避免活检。在这里，我们报告了一例小儿特发性椎间盘钙化伴相邻椎体受累和前纵韧带骨化的病例。
