Abstract
Nocturnal crying in toddlers has a broad spectrum of causes, including psychosocial and somatic causes, whereby the majority are self-limiting and do not need referral to specialist medical care. Although uncommon, atypical presentations of nocturnal crying—such as spondylodiscitis—require referral to specialist medical care, especially when combined with discomfort. In this case report, we present a case of a 15-month-old girl with an atypical presentation of nocturnal crying in combination with back pain.
