Calcified cervical intervertebral discs in children are manifestations of an uncommon, distinct disease of unknown cause. Acute symptoms are usually followed by a benign course of spontaneous recovery, frequently culminating in resorption of the calcium. Rarely herniation of the disc may cause neurological complications. Two cases are presented as examples of the typical syndrome. A third case was operated on because of herniation with radiculopathy; the clinical, radiographic, and pathological findings are reported in detail.
儿童颈椎间盘钙化是一种病因不明的罕见、独特疾病的表现。急性症状通常之后会经历自发恢复的良性病程，常常最终导致钙的吸收。椎间盘突出很少会引起神经并发症。现呈现两例典型综合征病例。第三例因椎间盘突出伴神经根病接受了手术；详细报告了其临床、影像学和病理检查结果。
