SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Disc herniation responsible for scalloping of vertebral body had been reported only at the lumbar level. RESULTS: The authors report on an unusual etiology of dorsal scalloping. A voluminous and calcified dorsal disc herniation was responsible for this, and within the center of the mass there was an unexpected hypersignal on nuclear magnetic resonance imaging. CONCLUSION: Scalloping does not preclude disc herniation, even at the dorsal level. Hyperintensity in T1-weighted images can reveal calcifications, as indicated in previous studies.

Congenital syphilis is increasingly being diagnosed in developed countries after many years of decline. The liver is characteristically involved. However, fulminant hepatic failure and subsequent liver calcifications are both rare in patients with congenital syphilis. The infant reported here had both of these rare manifestations of this disease.
