Abstract

The limbus annulare is of practical importance as a radiographic finding. Its proper identification will lead to an accurate diagnosis and eliminate the need for hospitalization and unnecessary diagnostic studies. This is a report of a patient with a limbus annulare misdiagnosed as a fracture of L-4. A review of the literature and possible explanations as to the etiology of the limbus are also presented.
