DescriptionCT of spondylosis causing radiculopathy.png
English: CT scan of a 52 year old man with left sided pain in his neck, as well as
radicular pain in his left arm, with tingling sensation
paresthesia in fingers 1-3.
Spurling's test was positive.
Triceps reflex was decreased. The scan shows
spondylosis with
osteophytes between the
vertebral bodies C6 and C7 on the left side, causing foraminal stenosis at this level (lower arrow, also showing
axial plane), thus explaining his symptoms by compression of
Spinal nerve 7. There is also spondylosis of the
facet joint between C2 and C3 (upper arrow), with some foraminal stenosis at this level, which appears to be asymptomatic.
