Pediatric Spine

The pediatric spine refers to the anatomical structure of the spine in children, encompassing the vertebrae, intervertebral discs, spinal cord, and surrounding tissues. It is a critical component of the musculoskeletal system, providing support, stability, and protection for the spinal cord while allowing for mobility and flexibility. The pediatric spine undergoes significant growth and development from infancy through adolescence. During this period, the spine undergoes rapid changes in size, shape, and alignment to accommodate the child's growth and development. These developmental changes are essential for the proper functioning of the spine and overall musculoskeletal system. Pediatric spine conditions can arise from various factors, including congenital abnormalities, developmental disorders, traumatic injuries, infections, tumors, and inflammatory diseases. Common pediatric spine conditions include congenital scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis, spinal deformities, spinal cord compression, and spinal cord injury. Diagnosis and management of pediatric spine conditions require a comprehensive approach, considering the child's age, growth stage, and overall health. Imaging studies such as X-rays, MRI, and CT scans are often used to evaluate the spine's structure and identify any abnormalities. Additionally, physical examination, medical history review, and neurological assessment are essential components of the diagnostic process.
