title: [Osteoid osteoma in childhood: apropos of 6 cases].
abstract: Six cases of children diagnosed as having osteoid osteoma with different localization are reviewed. They constitute 0.04% of all those admitted to the paediatrics department. The average age is 8 1/12 years and three exists a male predominance over the female in the proportion of 2/1. The clinic has shown it self through characteristic pain, with nocturnal paroxysms, which disappears with aspirin, in addition to functional impotence and muscular atrophy. In the case of vertebral localization, scoliosis was detected. Both, the radiography and the computerized axial tomography showed to be efficient for the diagnosis, which was confirmed anatomo-pathologically in the case operated on. The evolution was satisfactory in all of them.
