Estimates of the incidence of neck pain necessitating admission to a hospital do not exist, but data from a regional children’s hospital with 40,000 emergency department visits per year suggest that less than 10% of patients seen with a complaint of neck pain are admitted. This chapter emphasizes the most common diagnoses associated with neck pain that result in hospital admissions for children.
