AB  - With  a  prevalence  as  high  as  15%,  chronic  pain  is  increasingly  being  recognized  as  a  common  problem  in  children  and  adolescents,1  but  one  that  is  still  poorly  understood.  This  chapter  describes  evolving  concepts  of  several  syndromes  in  which  musculoskeletal  pain  is  a  prominent  feature.  Interestingly,  these  pain  syndromes  frequently  have  overlapping  features.  However,  most  children  can  be  readily  diagnosed  by  the  typical  pattern  of  somatic  complaints  and  the  salient  physical  findings  specific  to  each  syndrome.
