The transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae sometimes present rare abnormalities, or major abnormalities, which may be contrasted with congenital lesions concerning their volume, shape and direction. After a rapid review of the general and clinical characteristics, radiological analysis of the 59 cases collected in the literature and 6 personal cases, permits a provisional classification of the three varieties of lesion encountered. Apart from the rareness of cases known up to now, the interest of this study is to attract attention to the etiology which is still unknown, whether congenital or traumatic, and consequently, to the possible medico-legal consequences. Once again, as in other fields, the authors attract attention to the undoubted advantages of routine XRay of the lumbar spine and of the sacral area, one of which may be to discover the true etiology of the abnormalities encountered.
腰椎横突有时会出现罕见异常或重大异常，这些异常在体积、形状和方向方面可能与先天性病变有所不同。在快速回顾一般特征和临床特征之后，对文献中收集的59例病例和6例个人病例进行放射学分析，从而对所遇到的三种病变类型进行了初步分类。除了目前已知病例的罕见性之外，本研究的意义在于引起人们对病因的关注，病因仍然不明，无论是先天性还是创伤性的，因此，也要关注可能的法医学后果。作者再次像在其他领域一样，提请人们注意腰椎和骶骨区域常规X光检查的无疑优势，其中之一可能是发现所遇到异常的真正病因。
