Abstract
Bertolotti’s syndrome is a disease characterized by lumbar pain and/or fessalgia secondary to the presence of a mega-transverse process of the last lumbar vertebra, which articulates with the sacrum and / or iliac wing. The diagnosis is easy based on clinical and standard radiographs, but raises therapeutic problems because of the possibility of recurrence of pain even after a well-adapted treatment by infiltration or surgical resection and / or arthrodesis.
