Although degenerative VP is a rare entity in children, non-pathological VP can be a more common aspect of sacroiliac anatomy. Although sacroiliac VP is frequently an underreported or omitted finding in imaging studies, this condition may be clinically important as a clue for other degenerative diagnoses. Normal variants of VP may be clinically important in children since they may mimic inflammatory and infectious pathologies during magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography images.
