Cervical pain in children.
Neck pain is rare in children. Although in adults it is often associated with degenerative disease, in children it is most often the result of a serious underlying disorder. Careful history taking, complete physical examination, and state-of-the-art neuroradiologic imaging are required to define the correct cause and guide the choice of therapy to alleviate the symptoms and treat the primary disorder.
