โฆ Synopsis
The occurrence of calcified discs with large calcified masses protruding into the spinal canal in two children is reported. The discs affected had increased height in the acute stage. Air myelogram, performed in one case with muscular weakness in the hand demonstrated compression of the spinal cord. The condition improved on conservative treatment without sequelae in both cases.

Burst fractures of the lower cervical spine (C3-7) are often associated with severe neurological injury. During the last 5 years (1987-1992) we operated on 11 patients who had sustained burst fractures together with neurological deficit. The operations were performed through an anterior approach. Th
