    AbstractInflammatory and infectious disorders of the spine in children are less common than in adults, and are usually categorized according to location into (1) those predominantly affecting the spinal cord; (2) those predominantly affecting the nerve roots and meninges; and (3) those predominantly affecting the vertebrae, discs, and epidural space. Disorders primitively involving the spinal cord may be grouped into 2 basic categories: (1) inflammatory (represented by acute transverse myelopathy) and (2) infectious (ie, bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic). Inflammatory spinal cord diseases are more common than primitive spinal cord infection.Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
