Abstract

Introduction: Cervical Spondylolisthesis (CS) in children is under-studied. This cross-sectional study reports the CS prevalence in children.

Materials & methods: Subjects were selected from a private practice. Inclusion criteria: 0-17 years of age; documented demographics and health complaints; neutral lateral cervical (NLC) radiographs; and CS. Exclusion criteria: pseudosubluxation.

Results: 342 NLC radiographs were analyzed. 73 (21.3%) had CS greater than 2.0 mm. 42 (57.5%) had no musculoskeletal complaints. 8 (2.3%) had the presence of a CS greater than 3.5 mm. 5 (62.5%) had no musculoskeletal complaints.

Discussion: Pediatric populations endure various traumas. Pediatric cervical spine biomechanics has an increased risk of upper cervical spine injury. Regular spinal radiographic exams may help identify serious spinal conditions in their pre-symptomatic state.

Conclusion: CS in pediatric populations is under-studied. CS is present in children and adolescents with and without symptoms.

儿童人群矢状面颈椎滑脱的X线影像学患病率：脊椎半脱位的横断面分析。

引言：儿童颈椎滑脱症（CS）研究不足。这项横断面研究报告了儿童CS的患病率。材料和方法：受试者选自私人诊所。纳入标准：0-17岁；记录的人口统计和健康投诉；中性侧颈（NLC）射线照片；和CS。排除标准：假性半脱位。结果：对342张NLC X线片进行分析。73例（21.3%）CS大于2.0 mm。42例（57.5%）无肌肉骨骼疾病。8例（2.3%）CS大于3.5 mm。5例（62.5%）无肌肉骨骼疾病。讨论：儿童群体承受着各种创伤。儿童颈椎生物力学增加了上颈椎损伤的风险。定期的脊柱放射学检查可能有助于识别症状前状态下的严重脊柱疾病。结论：CS在儿科人群中的研究尚不充分。CS存在于有症状和无症状的儿童和青少年中。
