This colour enhanced sagittal (lateral) CT reconstruction of the lumbar spine clearly shows a bony defect involving the L5 pars interarticularis. This is red with a green glow. This is also called a spondylolysis. This is often a traumatic defect that causes pain in the lower back,but can sometimes be related to a congenital weakness in the bone. It can cause low back pain. There is however no evidence of a subluxation ( called spondylolisthesis) | |
