Atypical dimples can also be deep, positioned above the gluteal crease, located outside the midline, or occur as multiple dimples.

Caudal regression syndrome, or sacral agenesis (or hypoplasia of the sacrum), is a rare birth defect. It is a congenital disorder in which the fetal development of the lower spine—the caudal partition of the spine—is abnormal. [1] It occurs at a rate of approximately one per 60,000 live births. [2]
Examples of minor anomalies can include curvature of the fifth finger (clinodactyly), a third nipple, tiny indentations of the skin near the ears (preauricular pits), shortness of the fourth metacarpal or metatarsal bones, or dimples over the lower spine (sacral dimples). Some minor anomalies may be clues to more significant internal abnormalities.
The dimples of Venus (also known as back dimples, Duffy Dimples, butt dimples or Veneral dimples) are sagittally symmetrical indentations sometimes visible on the human lower back, just superior to the gluteal cleft. They are directly superficial to the two sacroiliac joints, the sites where the sacrum attaches to the ilium of the pelvis. An ...
As facial dimple surgeries continue to rise, so do dimple surgeries on the lower back. A sign of a " healthy " body, "Venus dimples" sit right at the base of the spine.
Lumbosacral transitional vertebrae consist of the process of the last lumbar vertebra fusing with the first sacral segment.
