处于生长发育期的儿童罹患脊柱结核后,容易继发后凸畸形及神经损害。由于儿童脊柱的解剖特点与成人脊柱不同,因而儿童脊柱结核的临床特点和治疗策略与成人有所差异。研究发现,儿童脊柱结核累及的节段数是成人的1.9倍,由于儿童椎体主要为软骨成分,故比成人椎体更容易遭到破坏,后凸畸形一旦形成,会随着生长发育持续进展,即使在结核治愈后畸形也可能进一步加重~([1~3])。因此,儿童脊柱结核引起的后凸畸形一般比成人更严重,应得到更密切的关注。后凸畸形可导致患儿身材矮小,心肺 In the growth and development of children suffering from spinal tuberculosis, easy to secondary kyphosis and nerve damage. Because of the anatomical characteristics of children’s spine and adult spine, so the clinical features of children with spinal tuberculosis and treatment strategies and adults are different. The study found that the number of segments involved in pediatric spinal tuberculosis was 1.9 times that of adults. Because the pediatric vertebral body is mainly composed of cartilage, it is more likely to be damaged than the adult vertebral body. Once the kyphosis is formed, it will continue to grow as the growth progresses. Even after the cure of tuberculosis deformity may further aggravate ~ ([1 ~ 3]). As a result, kyphosis caused by spinal tuberculosis in children is generally more severe than adults and deserves closer attention. Kyphosis can lead to short stature in children, cardiopulmonary
