Abstract
Growing pain is one of the conditions from the group of growing diseases and are the most common cause of leg pain in children. The true nature of the disease is still debatable, the development of the syndrome is described by a number of different theories. The article provides a consistent analysis of the prerequisites for the formation, probable anatomical and physiological features of the formation of the syndrome of growing pain in children. The authors provide information on the clinical picture, the dynamics of symptoms. Attention is paid to the differential diagnosis of various conditions with leg pain. Information on approaches to the treatment of the syndrome is provided. From a practical point of view, information is provided on the likelihood and possibility of identifying serious systemic diseases and oncological diseases similar in a number of signs to growing pains.
