- Disc Herniations in Children
Disc herniations in children are very, very rare, they are not even seen at the age of 18-20. At this age, hernia usually occurs suddenly due to trauma.
However, when suspected, diagnosis is not easy because the child's bones have not yet completed their development, making radiological evaluation difficult; When they are detected, surgery is not easy at all, because techniques will need to be used to address problems that may arise in later years.
For this reason, you must find an experienced pediatric neurosurgeon or pediatric neurosurgery instructor.
At such an early stage, When a hernia occurs at an early age, it is necessary to pay attention to whether there is an additional disease accompanying the event, such as a congenital abnormality or an infectious disease.
In addition, to protect children from such situations; They should not be allowed to do heavy work or carry heavy school bags.
