Key points

  • Limbus vertebra is defined as marginal interosseous herniation of the nucleus pulposus.
  • It is usually an incidental finding unless posterior herniation leads to nerve compression.
  • Emerging evidence suggests a potential link between limbus vertebra, intervertebral disc degeneration, and specific genes.

Abstract

Limbus vertebra is marginal interosseous herniation of the nucleus pulposus. It is generally considered to be an incidental finding without any symptoms unless posterior herniation causes nerve compression. However, recent findings have suggested limbus vertebra may be associated with a specific gene and intervertebral disk degeneration.
