Lumbar disk herniation in adults is thought to be caused by repetitive overloading and age-rated degenerative changes. However, these causes are absent in children and adolescent patients. We assume that structural malformations in the lumbar spine could predispose intervertebral disks to early degeneration and hence need to be surgically fused. This issue has never been raised before. ⋯ ICL, intercrestal lineLDH, lumbar disk herniationL5TP, L5 transverse processODI, Oswestry Disability IndexTV, transitional vertebraeVAS, visual analog scale.
