Spinal Infection in Children: Symptoms, Causes & Treatment | Dr. Akhil Tawari

Spinal infections in children occur when the vertebrae, intervertebral discs, or the space around the spinal cord become infected due to bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic pathogens. These infections can cause significant pain and discomfort, and they most commonly affect children between the ages of 2 and 8 years. In this video, Dr. Akhil Tawari, Consultant Pediatric Spine Surgeon at SRCC Children's Hospital, Mumbai, shares detailed insights into spinal infections in children, including their causes, symptoms, and treatment options. What You'll Learn in This Video: What is Spinal Infection in Children? Spinal infections are serious conditions in which bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites infect the spine, leading to inflammation and damage to the bones, discs, and surrounding tissues. These infections can occur after an injury or as a result of another infection elsewhere in the body. Symptoms of Spinal Infection in Children: Common symptoms of spinal infections in children include back pain, neck pain, fever, weight loss, and loss of appetite. The symptoms can vary based on the severity and location of the infection. Early detection is crucial to prevent complications. Diagnosis and Investigations for Spinal Infection: Diagnosing spinal infections in children requires a thorough examination, imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans, and sometimes blood tests to identify the pathogen responsible for the infection. Treatment Options for Spinal Infection in Children: Treatment often involves a combination of antibiotics or antifungal medications, depending on the type of infection. In severe cases, surgery may be required to remove infected tissue or drain abscesses. A pediatric spine surgeon will recommend the best approach to treat the condition effectively. Importance of Early Intervention: Spinal infections can lead to long-term spinal deformities or nerve damage if not treated promptly. Timely medical intervention can help manage the infection and prevent serious complications. Dr. Tawari discusses how to recognize the signs of spinal infection in children, the importance of early diagnosis, and the various treatment methods to ensure the best outcome for young patients.
