Congenital vertebral malformations like lumbar sacralization and lumbarization can cause back and leg pain. Forensic analysis should carefully identify these conditions for accurate assessments.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Forensic Medicine
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Lumbar sacralization and lumbarization are congenital anomalies of the spine.
  • These conditions involve the fusion or incomplete segmentation of lumbar vertebrae.
  • Understanding their prevalence and clinical impact is crucial for medical and legal evaluations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review cases of lumbar sacralization and lumbarization.
  • To analyze the etiopathogenesis and clinical manifestations of these vertebral malformations.
  • To explore the relationship between these congenital anomalies and potential injuries or diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 16 patient cases with lumbar sacralization or lumbarization.
  • Analysis of clinical data, including symptoms and physical examination findings.

  • Evaluation of imaging studies to confirm vertebral anomalies.

    • Main Results:

    • Out of 16 reviewed cases, 6 exhibited lumbar sacralization.
    • 10 cases were attributed to lumbarization.
    • The majority of patients presented with varying degrees of back and leg pain.

    Conclusions:

    • Lumbar sacralization and lumbarization are significant congenital spinal malformations.
    • These conditions frequently manifest with symptoms such as back and leg pain.
    • Forensic practitioners should enhance their attention to these anomalies for precise vertebral identification and legal assessments.
