Herniation of a calcified nucleus pulposus in a child: case report.
Herniation of the nucleus pulposus is a very rare complication of intervertebral disc calcification in children. We report a case in an 11-year-old girl. The majority of such cases should be treated conservatively as spontaneous resorption of the calcified lesion will occur.
