WHAT CAUSES SCHMORL'S NODULES? Schmorl's nodules tend to occur after trauma to the spine that causes wear and tear to it over time. Usually, if repeated trauma caused the formation of Schmorl's nodule, the patient does not remember a specific motion that caused the pain to begin.
They may or may not be symptomatic, and their etiological significance for back pain is controversial. In a recent study in Spine by Hamanishi, et al.,1 Schmorl's nodes were observed on MRI in 19% of 400 patients with back pain, and in only 9% of an asymptomatic control group. Plain film x-rays only revealed about 33% of the nodes identified on MRI.
