The Sacrum: Pathologic Spectrum, Multimodality Imaging, and Subspecialty Approach The lateral masses are paired blocks of bone located lateral to the sacral foramina. The sacral ala is the wing-shaped bone found lateral to the S1 vertebral body. Histologic study of the sacral alae demonstrates decreased trabecular density (“alar voids”) within each of these structures (3).

Sacrum Lastly, two epiphyseal plates on each side of the sacrum form the lateral aspect of the bone, including the auricular surface that articulates with the ilium. At birth, the five sacral vertebrae resemble the developing lumbar vertebrae and are separated by intervertebral disks. It is not until the second year of life when the alae begin to form that the sacrum takes on its distinct appearance (1).

Congenital vertebral anomaly Sacralization of the fifth lumbar vertebra (or sacralization) is a congenital anomaly, in which the transverse process of the last lumbar vertebra (L5) fuses to the sacrum on one side or both, or to ilium, or both.These anomalies are observed at about 3.5 percent of people, and it is usually bilateral.acralization of the fifth lumbar vertebra (or sacralization) is a congenital anomaly, in which the transverse process of the last lumbar vertebra (L5) fuses to the sacrum on one side or both, or to ilium, or both.

- Benefits of Cranial Sacral Therapy. Cranial sacral therapy (also known as craniosacral therapy) is a gentle, noninvasive form of bodywork that addresses the bones of the head, spinal column and sacrum. The goal is to release compression in those areas which alleviates stress and pain.

- The top sacral vertebra (S1) connects to the last lumbar vertebra (L5 or L6), and the lowest sacral vertebra (S5) connects to the coccyx, or tailbone. The first vertebra of the sacral spine, S1, is one of the most common vertebrae susceptible to injuries like a pinched nerve, bulging disc or herniated disc. Whether due to age or injury, the protective discs between our vertebrae can be weakened to the point that they swell (bulge) or break open (rupture).

Sacrum and sacral hiatus Abstract. The sacrum is a large triangular bone formed from the five fused sacral vertebrae (Figure 1). Two rows of foramina on its dorsal and pelvic surfaces divide it into a median portion, the body and two lateral masses.

- Sacral hiatus is felt as a dimple when the median sacral is palpated towards caudal direction. In the present study distance between the caudal end of the median sacral crest and the apex of the sacral hiatus ranged from 2.06 to 26.62 mm with an average of 11.76 ± 5.75 mm (Table 5). The distance was more than 10 mm in 60.4% cases (Table 6).

The Arteries of the Pelvis The median sacral artery originates from the posterior aspect of abdominal aorta, at its bifurcation into the common iliac arteries. It descends anteriorly to the L4 and L5 vertebrae, the sacrum and the coccyx, contributing to the arterial supply of these regions.

- Sacro Iliac Joint Sprains. The sacroiliac joint(s) is an amazingly complex joint. It is formed by the sacrum and. its connection or articulation to the iliac bones or pelvis. It is a compound joint, where the. two joints can act at times as one joint or sometimes only as a right or left side. This is.

Myxopapillary Ependymoma of the Sacrum Figure 5. Photograph of the sagittally sectioned gross specimen from en bloc resection of the sacrum shows a large, lobulated mass occupying the sacral canal (solid arrow) and extending anteriorly into the sacral hollow (open arrow). Areas of hemorrhage and necrosis are present within the mass. S1 = sacral vertebra.

- The sacrum is a large wedge shaped vertebra at the inferior end of the spine. It forms the solid base of the spinal column where it intersects with the hip bones to form the pelvis. The sacrum is a very strong bone that supports the weight of the upper body as it is spread across the pelvis and into the legs. Developmentally, the sacrum forms from five individual vertebrae that start to join during late adolescence and early adulthood to form a single bone by around the age of thirty....

Sacrum Fracture Anatomy The coccyx, or tailbone, is the lowest part of the spine. The sacrum is a triangular shaped bone that lies between the lumbar vertebrae and the coccyx. Both sides of the sacrum attach the pelvis. The spine is made up of many parts.

Sacral fractures Sacral fractures occur in approximately 30% of pelvic ring fractures, but fewer than 5% occur as isolated injuries. Sacral fractures are commonly associated with pelvic fractures and lumbosacral dislocation with facet injury. Most sacral fractures are caused by indirect forces through the pelvis or lumbar spine, but can be caused by direct trauma.

Thecal Sac Impingement Explained Thecal sac impingement is often noted on diagnostic imaging reports of people with various back pain and neck pain conditions. The thecal sac is the protective membrane which surrounds the spinal cord and other vital neurological structures.This membrane insulates and protects the nerve tissues, as well as holding cerebral spinal fluid, much like a reservoir.erniated disc displacing the thecal sac. In all cases, this means that the bulging portion of the disc is making contact to some degree with the thecal membrane and enacting some force against the side wall of the structure. This will produce a noticeable deformity which can be visualized on diagnostic imaging.

Sacrum The two lateral projections of the sacrum are called the alae (wings), and articulate with the ilium at the L-shaped sacroiliac joints. The upper part of the sacrum connects with the last lumbar vertebra, and its lower part with the coccyx (tailbone) via the sacral and coccygeal cornua. The sacrum has three different surfaces which are shaped to accommodate surrounding pelvic structures. Overall it is concave (curved upon itself).

Overview By Mayo Clinic Staff. A sacral dimple is an indentation, present at birth, in the skin on the lower back. It's usually located just above the crease between the buttocks. Most sacral dimples are harmless and don't require any treatment.

Classification of sacral fractures Classification of sacral fractures. Dr Dalia Ibrahim and Dr Matt Skalski et al. There are several classification systems for sacral fractures, but the most commonly employed are the Denis classification and subclassification systems, and the Isler classification system.These classification systems are important to understand as proper classification can impact management.sed for fractures that involve the lumbosacral articulation: 1  Isler 1: fracture occurs lateral to the L5/S1 facet. 2  Isler 2: fractures line involves the L5/S1 facet. 3  Isler 3: fracture line extends medially to the L5/S1 facet.
