This study presents five cases of acquired coronal clefts in lumbar vertebrae, detailing imaging findings and discussing causes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) proved crucial for understanding the pathomechanics of these vertebral body injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Spinal Surgery

Background:

  • Acquired coronal clefts in vertebral bodies are rare, posing diagnostic challenges.
  • Understanding the etiology is crucial for effective management of spinal abnormalities.

Observation:

  • Five patients with acquired coronal clefts in lower lumbar vertebral bodies were analyzed.
  • Imaging modalities included plain radiographs, skeletal scintigraphy, discography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Findings:

  • Detailed descriptions of the radiographic and advanced imaging appearances of these vertebral clefts are provided.
  • The study emphasizes the role of the intervertebral disc and discovertebral junction in the pathomechanics of vertebral body injury.
  • MRI was particularly valuable in radiological assessment and elucidating the cause of the clefts.

Implications:

  • This research aids in the diagnosis and understanding of acquired coronal clefts in the lumbar spine.
  • The findings contribute to the knowledge of vertebral body injury mechanisms.
  • Improved understanding may lead to better treatment strategies for patients with these spinal conditions.
