5才の二卵性双生児にみられた第5腰椎すべり症

抄録

Very rare cases of spondylolisthesis in fraternal twins who were five and a quarter years old boy and girl were reported.
One of twins visited our hospital on February, 1984 with complaint of low back pain. Roentgenograms showed a defect of the gars interarticularis of the fifth lumbar vertebra with minimum slipping. In contrast, another one had no symptom though her roentgenograms revealed similar spondylolisthesis.
^99mTc-MDP scintigrams did not demonstrate any abnormal concentration. His complaint has been relieved after fitting of pelvicbelt, though there has been no roentgenographic change.
