Complicated chronic vertebral compression fracture

Irregular, wide horizontal fracture can be noted through the previously compressed T12 vertebral body with marked sclerosis around the fracture line in keeping with pseudo-articulation (it explains the symptoms). The appearance is congruent with Andersson lesion in ankylosing spondylitis, but the way of development differs. There is no evidence of spondylolisthesis, but the fracture of the posterior elements is likely (even if it is not clearly visible on recent film). |
