    Rare abnormalities of lumbar vertebrae transverse processes can have unknown causes, potentially leading to medico-legal issues. Routine X-rays are crucial for diagnosis and understanding etiology.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae can exhibit rare congenital abnormalities affecting volume, shape, and direction.
    • These abnormalities, though uncommon, necessitate a thorough understanding for accurate diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To classify the three encountered varieties of lumbar transverse process lesions.
    • To investigate the unknown etiology (congenital or traumatic) and potential medico-legal implications of these abnormalities.
    • To highlight the diagnostic advantages of routine lumbar and sacral spine X-rays.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of general and clinical characteristics of lumbar transverse process abnormalities.
    • Radiological analysis of 59 cases from existing literature and 6 personal cases.

  • Provisional classification of identified lesion varieties based on radiological findings.

    • Main Results:

    • A provisional classification of three distinct varieties of lumbar transverse process lesions was established.
    • The study underscores the rarity of these abnormalities and the current lack of understanding regarding their etiology.
    • Radiological analysis confirmed the value of X-rays in identifying these vertebral anomalies.

    Conclusions:

    • Lumbar transverse process abnormalities, while rare, require attention due to unknown etiology and potential medico-legal consequences.
    • Routine X-rays of the lumbar spine and sacral area are invaluable for discovering and characterizing these vertebral abnormalities.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the congenital or traumatic origins of these rare lesions.
