Spinal Cord and Spinal Column Injuries in Children: Current Management Options

ABSTRACT

Pediatric spinal cord and spinal column injuries are not uncommon; however, the data on which many management decisions are based are either incomplete or gleaned from adult studies. In this article, we review the current knowledge regarding pediatric spinal cord and spinal column injuries, and update the practitioner in the proper diagnosis and management of these disorders.
