Discitis in children is a benign self-limiting inflammatory or infectious lesion of the intervertebral disc space. Spondylitis/spondylodiscitis is still an uncommon diagnosis, often with delay in diagnosis and treatment due to uncharacteristic symptoms. The aim of this study is to increase the awareness and outline a pattern of investigation and treatment. The clinical signs were general irritability, abdominal or hip pain, and refusal to walk or to sit. The unspecificity of the symptoms, laboratory findings, and the late plain radiology detection does often delay the final diagnosis.
