儿童期椎间盘钙化是一种罕见但有详细描述的疾病（Newton, 1958; Melnick & Silverman, 1963）。我们报告这样的情况下，其中一个相邻的钙化颈椎间盘突出检查的CT和磁共振成像（MRI）。既往健康的9岁女孩在体操损伤后出现6个月的间歇性颈部和左臂疼痛史。没有四肢无力、其他感觉障碍或体质紊乱。体格检查显示所有颈部活动均受疼痛限制，但无其他异常。特别是没有异常的神经症状。最初的影像学检查包括颈椎平片，显示C6-7和C7-T1椎间盘钙化（图1）。此外，在斜位投影上，可见钙化物质占据左侧较高水平的神经孔。计算机断层扫描（IGE CT/ t8800）证实…
Calcification of the intervertebral discs in childhood is an unusual but well described condition (Newton, 1958; Melnick & Silverman, 1963). We report such a case with herniation of one of the two adjacent calcified cervical discs examined by CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A previously well 9-year-old girl presented with a 6-months history of intermittent neck and left arm pain following a gymnastic injury. There had been no limb weakness, other sensory disturbance or constitutional upset. Physical examination revealed pain-limited restriction of all neck movements but no other abnormality. In particular, there were no abnormal neurological signs. Initial radiological investigation included plain radiographs of the cervical spine which showed calcification of the C6–7 and C7–T1 intervertebral discs (Fig. 1). In addition, on the oblique projection, calcific material occupying the left neural foramen at the higher level was noted. Computed tomography (IGE CT/T 8800) confirmed dense calcification o...
