Özet
The lumbosacral region, with its manifold variations and anomalies, is one of the most important section of the entire spine. From the fusion defects to the segmentation anomalies, a wide variety of malformation exists in this region. Individuals with such anomalies usually have no physical complaints until their spines undergo pathological conditions. Two patients with a variety of lumbosacral vertebra anomalies are described. Each of them had a different malformation, but low back pain was the common complaint of these patients. According to our knowledge, these cases have never been reported before. We analysed their clinical and radiological features and discussed with the literature. © 2003 Tohoku University Medical Press.
