Bertolotti syndrome describes lower back pain secondary to an anatomical lumbosacral transitional vertebrae. We present the case of a 37 year old female with chronic lower back pain with radiological evidence of an anatomical lumbosacral pseudojoint. The patient underwent minimally invasive resection of her pseudojoint with complete resolution of symptoms postoperatively. We, as the authors would like to highlight that in patients with pain secondary to an aberrant lumbosacral articulation, consideration should be given to treatment via a minimally invasive technique.
贝托洛蒂综合征是指继发于解剖学上腰骶部移行椎的下背部疼痛。我们报告一例37岁女性慢性下背部疼痛患者，影像学检查显示存在解剖学上的腰骶部假关节。该患者接受了假关节微创切除术，术后症状完全缓解。作为作者，我们想强调的是，对于继发于异常腰骶关节的疼痛患者，应考虑采用微创技术进行治疗。
