Descrição

We present a case of a 15-year-old boy in whom an x-ray of the vertebral column was performed to investigate dorsal hipercyphosis. The exam showed partial block vertebrae in D8-D9. Block vertebrae may be congenital or acquired, partial or complete. Most of the times it is an incidental x-ray finding.
