Abstract
- Pain around the posterior iliac crest area is usually attributed to disorders of the lower lumbar or lumbosacral spine. However, low back pain arising from the thoracolumbar region is common and it is very similar to low back pain of lumbosacral origin. Low back pain of thoracolumbar origin is clinically distinguished from other nonspecific low back pain syndrome. It is characterized by symptoms localized at one posterior iliac crest innervated by posterior branch of T>z spinal nerve. Patients never complain of spontaneous pain at the thoracolumbar junction. Only localized tendemess over involved segments of thoracolumbar junction can be noted. We report two cases of posterior iliac ctest pain of thoracolumbar origin which was relieved by the treatment on the thoracolumbar junction.
