[The cribriform fossa of the sacrum. A source of abusive interpretation of osteolysis].
A number of X-ray pictures have been taken of a 29 years old man suffering from low back pains. The profile negative of these pictures imply an erosion on the forewall of the sacral canal, which is similar to a tumor destruction. The tomography refutes any bone destruction. On the contrary, it proves that there are some very deep riddled fossae of the sacrum, a frequent anatomic variant.
