Low back pain (LBP) is common in children and adolescents. There are many factors that cause LBP, including structural disorders, degenerative changes, Scheuermann\u2019s disease, fractures, inflammation, and tumors. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is the gold standard for diagnosing spinal abnormalities and is mandatory when neurological symptoms exist. The study focuses on common MRI findings in adolescents with persistent LBP, without history of acute trauma or evidence of either inflammatory or rheumatic disease.<jats:italic> Materials and Methods<\/jats:italic>. Eleven adolescents were submitted to thoracic and\/or lumbar spine MRI due to persistent LBP. The protocol consisted of T1 WI, T2 WI, and T2 WI with FS, in the axial, sagittal, and coronal plane.<jats:italic> Results<\/jats:italic>. MRI revealed structural abnormalities (scoliosis and kyphosis) in 4\/11 (36.36%); disc abnormalities and endplate changes were found on 11\/11 (100%). Typical Scheuermann\u2019s disease was found in 3\/11 (27.27%). Endplate changes were severe in Scheuermann\u2019s patients and mild to moderate in the remaining 8\/11 (72.72%). Kyphosis was in all cases secondary to Scheuermann\u2019s disease. Disk bulges and hernias were found in 8\/11 (72.72%), all located in the lumbar spine.<jats:italic> Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. In adolescents with LBP, structural spinal disorders, degenerative changes, and Scheuermann\u2019s disease are commonly found on MRI; however, degenerative changes prevail.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/7638505","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,8]],"date-time":"2018-02-08T18:32:33Z","timestamp":1518114753000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Frequent Benign, Nontraumatic, Noninflammatory Causes of Low Back Pain in Adolescents: MRI Findings"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2018","author":[{"given":"Aikaterini","family":"Solomou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University Hospital of Patras, Patras, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9149-1586","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Pantelis","family":"Kraniotis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University Hospital of Patras, Patras, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aspasia","family":"Rigopoulou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University Hospital of Patras, Patras, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Theodore","family":"Petsas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University Hospital of Patras, Patras, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"1","first-page":"18","volume":"33","year":"2004","journal-title":"American Journal of Orthopedics"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.bpo.0000214928.25809.f9"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-199072060-00026"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.2004.056812"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0304-3959(02)00008-8"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00431-011-1596-1"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-199705150-00013"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00586-012-2538-y"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.spinee.2006.03.008"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-199109000-00001"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-199904150-00009"},{"issue":"1","key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"70","DOI":"10.1097\/00008480-199902000-00015","volume":"11","year":"1999","journal-title":"Current Opinion in Pediatrics"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-198163020-00001"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiographics.11.2.1827529"},{"issue":"4","key":"15","first-page":"541","volume":"74","year":"1992","journal-title":"The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery"}],"container-title":["Radiology Research and Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/rrp\/2018\/7638505.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/rrp\/2018\/7638505.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/rrp\/2018\/7638505.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,8]],"date-time":"2018-02-08T18:32:35Z","timestamp":1518114755000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/rrp\/2018\/7638505\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018]]},"references-count":15,"alternative-id":["7638505","7638505"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2018\/7638505","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-1941","2090-195X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-1941","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-195X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018]]}}}
