| Popis: | 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. |
