Solitary eosinophilic granuloma of bone in children

The work is based on the experience of examination and treatment of 134 children with solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the vertebrae, long and flat bones. When vertebrae are damaged with the formation of a vertebra plana, treatment consists of reclining the spine and fixing it with a plaster brace, and then with a polyvic brace until V3-V2 is restored to the initial height of the vertebral body. A pathological fracture of one of the cervical vertebrae with the formation of an angular deformity is an indication for the imposition of a halo apparatus. With the localization of eosinophilic granulomas in long and flat bones, the method of choice is puncture treatment with the introduction of a steroid hormone into the focus.
