Abstract

The spine, a frequently investigated site in children, has a complex development in relation to both nervous and bone/cartilaginous structures and shows several particular features in children compared with adults. We report the main normal variants and pathologies of the pediatric spine, from the prenatal period to adolescence, focusing on a multimodality imaging approach.
