Abstract

Limbic bone or persistant epiphysis seen roentgenographically on the anterosuperior aspects of the vertebral bodies represents another form of discal extrusion, seperating a small fragment of bone from the body of the involved vertebra. Lindblom, in 1951, demonstrated the pathophysiology with discography. Anterior herniation of the nucleus pulposus was also revealed by discography by Cloword and Buzaid in 1952. The authors reviewed 3 cases of limbic bone of the vertebrae.
