Vertebra plana (plural: vertebrae planae), also known as the pancake or silver dollar or coin-on-edge vertebra, is the term given when a vertebral body has lost almost its entire height anteriorly and posteriorly, representing a very advanced compression fracture.
Pathology
It can occur in a variety of settings, including:
- trauma
- osteoporosis
- Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH)
- most common cause of vertebra plana in children
- osteogenesis imperfecta
- leukemia
- most common primary pediatric malignancy
- loss of vertebral height and increased sclerosis are common in the vertebral body
- vertebral metastases
- multiple myeloma
- lymphoma
- B-symptoms and multiple levels involvement unlike LCH, which commonly involves a single level
- osteomyelitis
- bacterial infection commonly causes disc destruction and vertebral
body endplate erosions - spinal tuberculosis spondylitis commonly causes bone destruction with somewhat relative disc preservation, which can cause vertebra plana, however, some form of vertebral endplate change is usually present
- bacterial infection commonly causes disc destruction and vertebral
- vertebral hemangioma
There are a number of mnemonics for the causes of vertebra plana.
