https://doi.org/10.15690/pf.v11i2.964
Abstract
The authors present a rare case of vertebral anomaly resulting from a defect in the endplate of the vertebral body – Limbus vertebra (slipped vertebral apophysis). The diagnosis is established in an adolescent with complaints of lumbal pains with a fracture and inflammatory diseases of the skeletal system, involving the spinal column, on the basis of a differential diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging served for ultimate identification of this pathology.
