Vertebral scalloping is another type of scalloping where either the anterior or posterior margins of the vertebral bodies have exaggerated concavity (Fig. 2). Posterior vertebral scalloping may be caused by an expanding mass, dural ectasia, neurofibromatosis type 1, achondroplasia and several other conditions. The less common anterior vertebral scalloping may be caused by pressure from prevertebral conditions such as lymphadenopathy or an abdominal aortic aneurysm; or by erosion by tuberculous spondylitis with pus tracking beneath the anterior longitudinal ligament.
