Lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV) is a congenital anomaly of the lumbosacral junction. The association between back pain and LSTV is controversial; however, in our patient the symptoms localized to a hemisacralized left transverse process of L5. LSTV should be included in the differential diagnosis in young patients with lower back pain, and scintigraphic imaging should be considered for...

Congenital malformations such as lumbosacral transitional vertebrae and spina bifida occulta constitute unrare anomalies and could affect the symptomatology of low back pain. A transitional vertebra is characterized by elongation of one or both transverse processes, leading to the appearance ofa sacralized fifth lumbar vertebra or a lumbarized first sacral vertebra. Furthermore, sacral spina bi...

Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebrae (LSTV) is the rare medical term used to describe congenital or acquired of lumbosacral vertebral junction abnormalities associated with without pain at lower back (Almeida, et al. [1]).

Identification of the lumbosacral (L-S) segment on magnetic resonance (MR) images is important for appropriate treatment of disease in the lumbosacral (L-S) area. In the study, data obtained from plain A-P radiographs of the L-S spine and sagittal MR imaging scans (sagittal T1- and T2-weighted sequences) of the L-S spine and sacrum with the coccygeal bone, are analyzed. Twenty-six children aged...

Case: We presented a case of extension-distraction spine injury at lumbosacral junction in patient with fused concomitant transitional vertebra. Detail an exceedingly rare traumatic hyperextension-distraction fracture the individual was described and reviewed. Conclusion: Although occurrence is extremely rare, it can occur some circumstances. Application damage control concept including early d...
