Skeletal Radiol. 2018 Aug;47(8):1171-1175. doi: 10.1007/s00256-017-2869-1. Epub 2018 Feb 14.

Abstract

Iliac bone malformations are rare and result from early disturbance of the genetic and epigenetic processes that come together to form the pelvic girdle. We report the case of a 5-month-old boy found to have a duplication of the ilium and describe the likely causes of this very rare malformation.

Keywords: Anatomy; Iliac duplication; Pelvic anomalies.
