  • Title: Sacral fatigue fractures in children with sacral spina bifida occulta.
    Author: Hama S, Takata Y, Sakai T, Higashino K, Abe M, Nagamachi A, Sairyo K.
    Journal: J Pediatr Orthop B; 2016 May; 25(3):278-82. PubMed ID: 26196371.
    Abstract:
    In this report, we present two cases of 9-year-old children with spina bifida occulta (SBO) of the sacrum, who were diagnosed with sacral fatigue fractures. In both patients, MRI showed a linear signal void and high signal in sacral ala on the short tau inversion recovery sequence. Sacral SBO at the same level of the sacral fracture was observed in each patient on computed tomography images. These lesions healed with rest. This is the first literature reporting cases with sacral stress fractures who had SBO at the same level of fracture.
