Incidental findings on imaging of the brain and spine account for a large number of referrals to a paediatric neurosurgical practice. They can be cause of undue concern to the parents and can result in unnecessary investigations and interventions. This article is a review of the common pathological entities identified as incidental findings in the author's experience. The list is not exhaustive and reflects mainly the common conditions referred. Very few of these incidental findings would need surgical intervention.
脑部和脊柱成像的偶然发现导致大量患儿被转诊至小儿神经外科。这些发现可能会让家长过度担忧，并导致不必要的检查和干预。本文回顾了作者经验中作为偶然发现而识别出的常见病理实体。这份清单并不详尽，主要反映了转诊的常见情况。这些偶然发现中很少需要手术干预。
