Reverse rugby jersey spine

Reverse rugger jersey spine describes the low endplate densities at multiple contiguous vertebral levels producing an alternating lucent-sclerotic-lucent appearance. It's the reverse counterpart of the Rugger jersey spine and also mimics the horizontal stripes of a rugby jersey.

Pathology

This appearance is often associated with osteoporosis, but the precise pathology is not determined, due to insufficient histopathological data and few reported cases.
