RESTREPO, Juan Pablo and MOLINA, María del Pilar. Limbus vertebra as a rare cause of lumbar pain in young people. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.2, pp.120-122. Epub Apr 23, 2021. ISSN 0121-8123. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcreu.2019.03.004.
The limbus vertebra is a rare condition poorly described in the medical literature. Marginal intrabody herniation of the nucleus pulposus resulting in the separation of a triangular bone fragment. It usually occurs in children or adolescents mainly in the lumbar spine and causes pain that in most cases improves with treatment with anti-inflammatories.
