摘要：

This article presents the case of a boy who complained of cervical and thoracic spine pain for the first time at the age of nine. Plain films of cervical and thoracic spine showed calcifications of intervertebral disc C4-C5, C5-C6, C6-C7 and D3-D4. The symptoms disappeared after conservative therapy. Plain films taken 16 months later showed spontaneous disappearance of all disc calcifications. This spontaneous regression of intervertebral disc calcifications in childhood has also been described in other cases reported in the medical literature. Except for the rare cases when disc calcifications are associated with disc herniation, the discovery of disc calcifications on a plain X-ray of a child corresponds to a benign abnormality.
