    Many people with this type of spina bifida do not even know they have it, as the condition is asymptomatic in most cases. [21] A systematic review of radiographic research studies found no relationship between spina bifida occulta and back pain.

    Lumbosacral transitional vertebrae consist of the process of the last lumbar vertebra fusing with the first sacral segment. [1] While only around 10 percent of adults have a spinal abnormality due to genetics, a sixth lumbar vertebra is one of the more common abnormalities. [2] Sacralization of the L5 vertebra is seen at the lower right of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethered_cord_syndrome

    The conus medullaris (or lower termination of the spinal cord) normally terminates at or above the L1-2 disk space (where L1 is the first, or topmost lumbar vertebra). After about 3 months of age, a conus below the L1-2 disk space may indicate a tethered cord and termination below L3-4 is unmistakably tethered.

    Manifestations of 3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency range from asymptomatic [5] to neonatal onset with extreme neurological symptoms [6] and even fatal cases. [ 7 ] 3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency is diagnosed by increased 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid and 3-methylcrotonylglycine in the urine. 3-hydroxyisovalerylcarnitine is ...
