ABSTRACT

Within 5 years of experience on pediatric spine surgery. Where we analize the following diagnosis, treatment and evolution of the 28 treated patients. The most frequent pathologies are there: Congenital scoliosis, infections, bone tumors and lipomeningocele. The average in age in which the surgery was done is 10 years, the youngest patient was one month old baby and the oldest 16 years old. The period the patients were hospitalized was 10 days, including both posterior and anterior surgeries in some cases. The diagnosis of the spine pathology, in some cases it used to cause trouble, but with a detailed exploration, we could reach a probable diagnosis and the request for necessary tests and conduct a specific treatment.
