Abstract
We report a case of aberrant hypoplastic pedicle of the fourth lumbar vertebra and ipsilateral conjoined nerve root. Ipsilateral retroisthmi c laminar defect, dysplastic lamina and transverse process, enlargemen t of neural foramen, hypoplasia of superior and inferior articular fac et were present as associated with other neural arch anomalies. The ex tent of these anomalies was well demonstrated by MR imaging. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
