Adult male with low back pain with no history of remote or recent trauma.

Limbus vertebrae result from an intrabody herniation of disc material. It can be mistaken for a fracture, infection or tumor. Interestingly it was discovered by Schmorl in 1927. Schmorl's node is intrabody herniation but usually involves posterior two-thirds of vertebral bodies; usually in males and peripheral. Misdiagnosis of limbus vertebra can cause great concern for patient trauma and further unnecessary workup.

Limbus vertebra is usually triangular and well corticated.
