ABSTRACT
Abdominal oblique muscle injury is characterized by acute pain and localized tenderness over the lateral trunk. This injury is particularly common among throwing athletes, and usually presents as anterolateral abdominal wall pain. Imaging evidence is scarce in regard to whether oblique muscle injury at its junction with the thoracolumbar fascia can instead present with low back pain. A high school baseball player with unilateral low back pain was referred to us with a different diagnosis.ãCareful palpation and magnetic resonance imaging guided our care, and the patient returned to high-level competition after 7 weeks of conservative treatment, with no report of recurrence in the subsequent 12 months. Oblique muscle injury at its junction with the thoracolumbar fascia should be added to the differential diagnosis for throwing athletes with unilateral low back pain following a torque movement.
