Abstract
Variations in the lumbosacral region of the vertebral column are frequent and well documented
[Hibbs, Swift 1929; Horwttz, Smith 1940; Nathan, Arensburgh 1972]. Ten percent of
patients presenting with symptoms of low back-pain are found to have some segmental anomaly
of the lumbosacral spine [McCulloch, Waddell 1980].
In the present report, an interesting variation of the fifth lumbar, vertebra (L5) is described
and appraised with respect to its embryology and its possible functional significance.
