The Butterfly vertebra
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
The normal development of the vertebral column and the timing of the various events has been elucidated. In the orthopaedic and radiological literature, a sagittally cleft vertebra is generally known as a butterfly vertebra(Schmetterlingswirbel),
a
rare
condition probably first described by Rokitansky.
Sometimes. This rare condition is confused with compression fracture after trauma. We report a case of butterfly vertebra and review the literature for differentiation of this rare condition.
