✦ Synopsis

110 normal air myelograms of children were reviewed and the ratio of the spinal cord width to the subarachnoid space width (cord/SAS ratio) was calculated in the sagittal and transverse planes. This ratio proved to be independent of age and sex. The mean values at different vertebral levels are in close agreement with those previously reported for adults. The cord/sas ratio is helpful in evaluating changed cord dimensions, especially that of cord atrophy.

The principal causes in children of a nonacute painful hip are Perthes disease and synovitis (irritable hip). The 99mTc methylene diphosphonate (MDP) bone scan appearances in Perthes disease are well-known; in synovitis, the hip may show a diffuse increase in activity or may be normal. The significa
