Abstract

We report a follow-up of 35 children, on average 17 years after they had intervertebral discitis. 15 patients still complained of backache. Flexion of the low back was normal in 32 patients, while extension was markedly restricted in 30. 26 patients had a block vertebra, and 28 patients had narrowing of the vertebral canal. Mode of treatment did not appear to affect the outcome.
