Abstract

Amaç: Amacımız en çok bel ağrısını oluşturan patolojileri belirlemek, Bertolotti Sendromu’nun bu patolojiler arasındaki oranını ve olası cinsiyet-yaş ayrımını ortaya koymaktır. Lumbosakral Transisyonel Vertebra’ları Castellvi sınıflamasına göre gruplandırıp oranlarını bulabilmektir. Yöntem: Mart 2020-Ekim 2021 tarihleri arasında çoğunluğu bel ağrısı nedeniyle Sakroiliak eklem Manyetik Rezonans Görüntülemeleri çekilen 357 hastaya ait görüntüler ve raporlar kas iskelet sistemi radyolojisi üzerine özelleşmiş bir radyolog tarafından değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Bertolotti Sendrom’u olan hastaların ortalama yaşı 43.9, olmayan hastaların ortalama yaşı 44 olup Bertolotti Sendromu ile hasta yaşları arasında bir ilişki bulunmadı (p=0.976). Bertolotti Sendrom’lu hastaların yaş aralığı 15-77 yaş idi. Bertolotti Sendrom’lu hastaların %20’si 30 yaşının altında, %50’si 40 yaşının altında izlenmekteydi. Bertolotti Sendromlu olan ve olmayan hastaların cinsiyet dağılımına bakıldığında Bertolotti Sendromu’nda cinsiyet ayrımı izlenmedi (p=0.572). Castellvi sınıflamasına göre grupların görülme oranları Tip 1a’da %10, Tip 1b’de %11.4, Tip 2a’da %35.7, Tip 2b’de %17.1, Tip 3a’da %4.3, Tip 3b’de %12.9 ve Tip 4’de %8.6 olarak bulundu. Alt lomber ağrıya neden olan patolojilerin başlıcaları aktif-kronik sakroileitler, vertebra ve disk dejenerasyonları ile faset eklem artrozlarıydı. Başlıca gözüken bu patolojilerden sonra %2.8 görülme sıklığıyla en fazla izlenen patoloji Lumbosakral Transisyonel Vertebra’dan kaynaklı ağrı nedeni olan Bertolotti Sendromu’ydu. Sonuç: Çalışma sonuçlarımıza göre Bertolotti Sendromu, 30 yaşının altında görülmeye başlamakla birlikte yaş ile anlamlı bir ilişkisi bulunmamaktadır. Cinsiyet ayrımı göstermemektedir. Bertolotti Sendromu; sakroileit, osteodejenerasyon ve diskopatik değişikliklerden sonra en sık izlenen alt lomber ağrı nedenlerinden bir tanesidir. Bertolotti Sendromu etyolojisinde literatürde farklı hipotezler olup ortak bir görüş bulunmamaktadır. Bu nedenle çok sayıda hasta katılımının sağlanacağı çok merkezli araştırmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

Abstract

Aim: Our aim was to determine the pathologies that mostly cause low back pain, to reveal the ratio of Bertolotti Syndrome among these pathologies and possible gender-age discrimination. To group Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebrae according to Castellvi classification and to find their ratios. Method: Images and reports of 357 patients who had Sacroiliac joint Magnetic Resonance Imaging, mostly due to low back pain, between March 2020 and October 2021 were evaluated by a radiologist specialized in musculoskeletal radiology. Results: The mean age of patients with Bertolotti Syndrome was 43.9, and the mean age of patients without Bertolotti Syndrome was 44, and no correlation was found between Bertolotti Syndrome and patient age (p=0.976). The age range of patients with Bertolotti Syndrome was 15-77 years. Of the patients with Bertolotti Syndrome, 20% were under 30 years of age and 50% were under 40 years of age. Considering the gender distribution of patients with and without Bertolotti Syndrome, no gender discrimination was observed in Bertolotti Syndrome (p=0.572). According to the Castellvi classification, the incidence of groups is 10% in Type 1a, 11.4% in Type 1b, 35.7% in Type 2a, 17.1% in Type 2b, 4.3% in Type 3a, 12.9% in Type 3b and Type 4 It was found to be 8.6% in . The main pathologies causing lower lumbar pain were active-chronic sacroiliitis, vertebral and disc degenerations, and facet joint arthrosis. Bertolotti Syndrome, which is the cause of pain from Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebra, was the most common pathology with a frequency of 2.8% after these pathologies that appeared to be the main ones. Conclusion: According to our study results, although Bertolotti Syndrome begins to appear under the age of 30, there is no significant relationship with age. It does not show any gender discrimination. Bertolotti Syndrome; It is one of the most common causes of lower lumbar pain after sacroiliitis, osteodegeneration and discopathic changes. There are different hypotheses in the literature on the etiology of Bertolotti Syndrome and there is no common opinion. For this reason, multicenter studies with a large number of patients are needed.
