    Abstract

    Congenital hypoplasia of the lumbosacral process is an uncommon cause of recurrent lumbalgia. The 37 cases reported in the literature illustrate the complexity of the pathological implications of these anomalies. We report another case and our diagnostic methodology. We propose lumbosacral arthrodesis which provided complete relief in our patient. This satisfactory outcome has been maintained at one year.
