Resumen (ES)
We report the results of a restrospective study of cases with spinal trauma in children
treated in our institution from 1987 until 1995. From 159,202 children under fourteen, only
in 1.8% spinal traumatism was present being necessary hospitalization in 45 cases. We analized age
distribution, etiologic factors, and level of the lesion. In four patients a neurologic deficit was present,
two of them had complete paraplegia. Pediatric spinal trauma is a rare lesion, and associated
neurologic deficit is still less common. In our scries, the most affected group was boys, from 8 to 13.
Usually conservative treatment provides satisfactory results. Surgery is required only when severe
unstability or neurologic deficit are present.
