Teenager with
fever and sickle cell disease. CXR AP (left) shows a dense opacity in the left lower lobe which on the lateral (right) is seen to be located posteriorly, causing a spine sign. The lateral radiograph also shows the T8 and T10 vertebral bodes to be H-shaped.The diagnosis was acute chest syndrome and musculoskeletal manifestations of sickle cell disease.

H-shaped vertebrae, also known as Lincoln log vertebrae, are a characteristic finding of sharply delimited central endplate depression, classically seen in approximately 10% of patients with sickle cell disease, and results from microvascular endplate infarction (figure 1) .

It may occasionally be seen with other conditions such as Gaucher disease .
