The limbus vertebra is a rare condition poorly described in the medical literature. Marginal intrabody herniation of the nucleus pulposus resulting in the separation of a triangular bone fragment. It usually occurs in children or adolescents mainly in the lumbar spine and causes pain that in most cases improves with treatment with anti-inflammatories.
