Department of Radiology, Imeldaziekenhuis, Bonheiden, Belgium.

We present the case of an 8-year-old male with intervertebral disc calcification at C2-C3. This uncommon entity has a very striking clinical and radiographic appearance. The course is mostly benign and therefore only needs conservative treatment.
