  2. X-ray and X-ray CT show bony content of sacrum and coccyx. • Alignment of coccyx is not regular in population and lateral,anterior and posterior deciations are common. Anterior deviation or inward deformity is more common. • By MR-imaging we fund fatty infiltration in 5th segment of sacrum and all segments of coccyx and this is a population variant in 97% of them. Cause could be immobility of these parts. • T1 and STIR-T2 images in sagittal plane are the key for diagnosis.

  3. X-ray cannot show coccyx in details X-ray CT can shows calcification degree of segments MRI can shows fatty content of the segments or bone marrow

  4. Mal-alignment of coccyx is not a pathology (is variant) painfull coccyx could be extracted even by normal imaging findings.

  5. T2 sag. Fatty infiltration of S3-S4-S5 and all coccyx

  6. T1 sag.

  7. 97% of population in our random study in PACS show full fatty infiltration of 2 lower sacral segments and all segments of coccyx.

  8. T1 and T2 sag. Of regular sacrococyx

  9. What is the cause: could be immobility MRI pulses of T1 sagittal and STIR-T2 are used for net diagnosis (key for diagnosis).

  10. T1 and T2 sag. Anteverted cocyx

  11. Deformed coccyx

  12. Peri-sacrococyx inflammation by STIR images Look at the “whale” ,anterior to the rectum , an animal as biggest mammal
