We have reviewed 37 patients under the age of 18 years with lesions of the lumbar posterior end plate. All but one were active in sport, and most were seen because of low back pain. An abnormality was commonly found at the inferior rim of the body of L4 and at the superior rim of the sacrum. All adjacent intervertebral discs showed a decrease of signal intensity on the T2-weighted MRI. In 12 patients there was no interposed tissue at the posterior end-plate lesions. When disc material had migrated posteriorly none protruded beyond the posterior margin of the end plate, the dissociated portion of which was the main element compressing neural tissue. The posterior end-plate lesion should be regarded as a vertebral non-articular osteochondrosis.
