Lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV) is a congenital anomaly of the lumbosacral junction. The association between back pain and LSTV is controversial; however, in our patient the symptoms localized to a hemisacralized left transverse process of L5. LSTV should be included in the differential diagnosis in young patients with lower back pain, and scintigraphic imaging should be considered for diagnostic purposes.
腰骶移行椎（LSTV）是腰骶关节的一种先天性异常。背痛与LSTV之间的关联存在争议；然而，在我们的患者中，症状定位于L5半椎体化的左侧横突。对于下背痛的年轻患者，鉴别诊断应包括LSTV，并且为了诊断目的应考虑进行闪烁成像。
