Overview
Increase in opacity of a vertebral body that retains its size and contours, with no change in the opacity and size of adjacent intervertebral disks. [1]
Increased opacity may be diffuse and homogeneous and involve most or all of the vertebral body, giving it a white appearance.
Differential diagnosis for an ivory vertebra
- Osteoblastic metastases
- Lymphoma
- Paget's disease
- Fluorosis
- Osteopetrosis
Diagnostic Findings
Increase in opacity of a vertebral body that retains its size and contours, with no change in the opacity and size of adjacent intervertebral disks.
