Abstract

Diagnosis of disc space infection in childhood is often delayed and is usually made on the basis of multiple roentgenographic, laboratory, and nuclear imaging studies. Four cases of septic discitis in children are described. Special emphasis is placed on the diagnostic findings with magnetic resonance imaging. Magnetic resonance sensitivity for this entity and its role in comparison with other imaging modalities are discussed.

摘要

儿童椎间盘间隙感染的诊断常常延迟，通常是基于多项X线、实验室及核成像检查来做出诊断。本文描述了4例儿童化脓性椎间盘炎。重点强调了磁共振成像的诊断结果。讨论了磁共振对此类疾病的敏感性及其与其他成像方式相比的作用。
