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.
