title: [Calcification of the intervertebral disks in children: apropos of a case].
abstract: The authors report a case of calcifications of an intervertebral cervical disk in a 12-year-old boy. A torticollis was the clinically revealing event. As in the majority of the published cases, the etiology remained unknown and the evolution was simple with complete regression of the calcifications.
