Abstract
in English, German

The differential diagnosis of back pain in children and adolescents is wide. The prevalence of low back pain is increasing with age and after puberty is similar to what is known from the adult population, but in smaller children a structural cause for the pain is more common. Careful history taking and physical examination will help with the decision of when to perform further investigations. This article lists the most common differential diagnoses of back pain in children.

Lumbalgien sind im Erwachsenenalter ein weit verbreitetes Phänomen, die meisten Erwachsenen sind irgendwann in ihrem Leben einmal davon betroffen [1]. Für den Rheumatologen auf der Notfallstation sind Rückenschmerzen bei unter 20-Jährigen ein „red flag“, wie wir im vorhergehenden Artikel dieser Ausgabe lesen konnten (Marcel Weber: Rückenschmerzen im Notfall). Wie sieht die Situation also aus im Kindes- und Jugendalter?
