ABSTRACT

A whole of 68 patients with an age range from 3 to 18 years, 41 male and 27 female were examined because of low back pain as initial symptom; the etiological causes were: herniated disk, effort, diskitis, spondylolisthesis, psichogenic origin, ankylosing, spondylitis, trauma, tuberculosis and tumor. Forty-one patients received conservative treatment and 27 were operated on. Five patients required surgical reintervention, 2 of them because of LCR leak, solved without complications. Forty-nine recovered patients were discharged from the hospital and 19 patients are still under control: 9 asymptomatic and 10 with pain. One was referred to a psychiatric hospital. Clinical evaluation, laboratory analysis and psychological evaluation were carried out.
