Frontal radiograph of lumbosacral spines reveals smooth well corticated lucent line at both transverse processes of L1 vertebra, in keeping with incomplete fusion of the transverse process ossific center bilaterally.

Unfused transverse process ossification centers are usually incidental findings. It must be carefully diagnosed to not be mistaken as transverse process fracture in setting of spinal trauma.
