Variations and anomalies of the neural arch result from alterations in the ossification process. Absence of lumbar articular process is a rare anomaly which most commonly involves the inferior articular process of the L4 or L5 vertebrae. Non-union at the tip of the articular process is a more common variation, known as Oppenheimer's ossicle. In this case report, we present multi-detector computed tomography findings of Oppenheimer's ossicles in 2 separate cases.
神经弓的变异和畸形源于骨化过程的改变。腰椎关节突缺如是一种罕见的畸形，最常累及L4或L5椎体的下关节突。关节突尖端不愈合是一种更常见的变异，称为奥本海默小骨。在本病例报告中，我们展示了2例单独病例中奥本海默小骨的多探测器计算机断层扫描结果。
