Abstract
We describe a 14-year-old female gymnast whose complaint was that of chronic low back pain. Radiographs and computed tomograms showed both lumbar manifestations of Scheuermann's disease and an osseous destruction of the S1 vertebral body. We suggest that this is a sacral component of Scheuermann's disease.
