HERRERA WAINSHTOK, Ana Claribel et al. Lumbar Scheuermann's disease. Rev Cuba Reumatol [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.3  Epub 01-Dez-2020. ISSN 1817-5996.

Juvenile lumbar osteochondrosis or Scheuermann's lumbar disease shares characteristics with classical Scheuermann's disease but it is located in the lower and lumbar spine (D10-L4) and is less frequent. The atypical lumbar form consists of the appearance of Schmorl hernias in one or two vertebral bodies with narrowing of the intradiscal space and changes in the vertebral plates. The case is presented of an 18-year-old teenager who was received in emergency service because of a traffic accident, referring to low back pain. Imaging studies were indicated where no injuries secondary to trauma were identified. However, there was evidence of a limb vertebra at the level of L1 as well as irregularity of the vertebral plates of the corresponding upper lumbar segments with Schmorl nodules. All these findings are consistent with lumbar Scheuermann's disease.

Palavras-chave : lumbar Scheuermann's disease; limb vertebra; Schmorl nodules.
