A total of 228 AP lumbosacral spine radiographs were included in the study. Most of the referred patients had nocturnal enuresis as the presenting complaint. 112 out of 228 x-rays (49%) were normal. The remaining 116 x rays (51%) showed spina bifida that was confirmed on subsequent MRI however no associated abnormality was identified on MRI. Figure 3 shows normal appearance of lamina fusing in midline without evidence of spina bifida.
