    Summary

    Scalloping, an indentation of the vertebral body, is rarely present without underlying disease. It most frequently occurs with various genetic disorders, tumors, or cysts.

    Area of Science:

    • Spinal imaging and diagnostics
    • Skeletal dysplasias
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Vertebral scalloping is a dorsal indentation of the vertebral body.
    • It affects the anterior wall of the lumbosacral or sacral canal.
    • Typically involves multiple adjacent lumbar vertebral segments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the phenomenon of vertebral scalloping.
    • To identify associated conditions and underlying diseases.
    • To differentiate idiopathic from pathological scalloping.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of radiological findings in spinal imaging.
    • Correlation of scalloping with patient diagnoses.
    • Analysis of literature on vertebral anomalies.

    Main Results:

    • Vertebral scalloping is infrequently idiopathic.
    • Common associations include chondrodystrophy, neurofibromatosis, and various genetic syndromes (Morquio's, Hurler's, Ehlers-Danlos, Marfan's).
    • Other frequent associations include cysts, tumors, and peridural lipomas.

    Conclusions:

    • Vertebral scalloping is a significant radiological finding.
    • Its presence strongly suggests an underlying pathological condition.
    • Further investigation is warranted when scalloping is identified.
