Abstract

A Schmorl’s node is defined as intervertebral disc herniation from the endplate to the adjacent vertebral body. This can cause pain and osteonecrosis in the vertebral body. The authors encountered a 59-year-old female patient with a Schmorl’s node accompanying multiple osteonecroses. To the best of the author’s knowledge, a Schmorl’s node accompanying multiple osteonecroses has not been reported in Korea. The authors report this case with a literature review.
