Human Axial Skeleton has drawn much interest for Medical researchers because of the Upright posture. The human vertebral column plays an important role in stability and weight transmission. It is adapted to protect the spinal cord. Congenital or acquired anomalies are common in the vertebral column. At the same time the vertebral column is the site for many orthopedic disorders which may be pathological or developmental, leading to instability, low back pain, kyphosis, scoliosis and Ankylosing spondylitis. During routine osteology classes, processed lumbar vertebrae were collected to explain to the students of I M.B.B.S. The author realized abnormal 5 lumbar vertebra. It had ossification of Interspinous and Supraspinous ligaments may be a feature of Ankylosis Spondylitis. This condition has a genetic and clinical importance. The purpose of present study is to highlight the I M.B.B.S. students about abnormal vertebrae and their clinical applications. This abnormal 5 lumbar vertebra was studied in detail with regards to its general morphology aspects, genetic factors, external stimulus and clinical manifestations. Key word: Supraspinous and Interspinous ligaments (SS&IS), ossification, calcification, 5 lumbar vertebra, Ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
