| Popis: | Baastrup’s disease, known colloquially as “kissing spine disease”, is a degenerative process, most commonly occurring in the lumbar spine, in which adjacent spinous processes closely approximate or even touch (Filippiadis et al. in Insights Imaging. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13244-014-0376-7 , 2015). We present the case of an 86-year-old woman presenting with left low back, hip, and anterolateral thigh pain. Magnetic resonance imaging noted an approximation of the L2/3 spinous processes, with degeneration of the vertebral processes. This article is based on previously conducted studies and does not contain any studies with human participants or animals performed by any of the authors. Informed consent for publication was obtained from the participant. |
