Abstract
Limbus vertebra involving the anterosuperior corner of a vertebral body is usually seen in adult patients, and it generally does not cause symptoms. An 8-year-old girl experienced lower back pain. Bone SPECT images revealed significantly increased tracer activity in the region of the anterior L4 vertebral body, which was shown on MRI to be a limbus vertebra.
