Bertolotti syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by an accessory or enlarged transverse process at the lumbosacral junction, leading to chronic low back pain and radicular symptoms. Unilateral cases are less common but still significant. We present the case of a 19-year-old female who presented with persistent low back pain on the right side. Physical examination revealed tenderness over the right lumbar paraspinal muscles, with no neurological deficits. Imaging studies confirmed the presence of an enlarged and elongated right transverse process at the L5 vertebra, consistent with Bertolotti syndrome.A conservative treatment approach was adopted, including physiotherapy interventions such as core stabilization exercises, lumbar flexibility exercises, and postural education. Manual therapy techniques and pain management strategies were also employed. After eight weeks of conservative management, the patient experienced significant pain relief and functional improvement. This case report highlights the successful management of unilateral Bertolotti syndrome in a 9-year-old female using conservative treatment strategies. Further research is needed to explore long-term outcomes and compare different treatment approaches.
