Description
Sisith Ariyaratne and co-authors review, in a 2024 article, the anatomy and diseases of the spinous process, the bony spine ridge felt down the back. These ridges act as levers where muscles and ligaments attach. Spine scans for pain often turn up surprise findings on them.
Single lesions on this ridge are uncommon, yet they can puzzle the doctors reading scans. Causes range from birth defects and injury to tumors, infection, swelling, and metabolic disease. Past writing on these lesions is sparse, the authors note. Their review gathers the range of causes with the scan features that best fit each. A clear catalog helps radiologists name a rare finding with more confidence.
