INTRODUCTION. Baastrup's disease (kissing spine) is a relatively common entity characterized by degenerative changes of spinous processes and inter-spinous soft tissues. It involves the formation of hypertrophic spinous processes, an important cause of mechanical back pain, and accompanying degenerative disc disease. La sindrome o segno di Baastrup è una malattia ortopedica della colonna vertebrale che si presenta spesso nei soggetti anziani. È caratterizzata dalla presenza di un ingrandimento dei processi spinosi delle vertebre lombari, con normale altezza del disco intervertebrale e dei fori intervertebrali. Il termine inglese per definirla è kissing spine, e rappresenta l'evidenza di avvicinamento PMCID: PMC6598627. DOI: 10.1093/jscr/rjz194. Baastrup's disease is a rare condition of the vertebral column often misdiagnosed and wrongly treated due to poor knowledge, characterized by low back pain arising from the close approximation of adjacent posterior spinous processes and resultant degenerative changes.

Baastrup disease or syndrome (also referred to as kissing spines) is a cause of low back pain characterized by interspinous bursitis and other degenerative changes of the bones and soft tissues where adjacent spinous processes in the lumbar spine rub against each other. Abstract Excessive lordosis is a common finding and may produce mechanical pressure that causes repetitive strains of the interspinous ligament with subsequent degeneration and collapse. Baastrup's disease (kissing spine syndrome) is a term referring to close approximation of adjacent spinous processes due to degenerative changes of the spine.
