Abstract
Limbus vertebrae, first described by Schmorl in 1927, is a triangular smooth bone fragment affecting the anterosuperior corner of a single vertebral body and results from herniation of a portion of the nucleus pulposus through the ring apophysis during childhood or adolescence.
The radiological appearance of the limbic vertebra is characteristic and simple x-ray is usually sufficient to complete the diagnosis.
Limbus vertebrae can be mistaken for a fracture, infection or tumor. Clinicians should have sound knowledge of this anomaly so that unnecessary procedures and treatments can be avoided.
