    Computed tomography (CT) effectively diagnosed spinal tumors and infections in patients with lumbosacral radicular symptoms when other imaging failed. CT provides crucial insights into the extent of disease, aiding in definitive diagnosis and treatment planning.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Oncology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Lumbosacral radicular symptoms often require advanced imaging for diagnosis.
    • Conventional radiologic studies like plain films and myelography may not fully elucidate complex spinal pathologies.

    Observation:

    • Computed tomography (CT) scans were performed on 10 patients presenting with lumbosacral radicular symptoms.
    • CT was utilized when initial imaging modalities were insufficient to define the disease process.

    Findings:

    • CT accurately diagnosed metastatic neoplasms in six patients, primary neoplasms in three, and tuberculous osteomyelitis with abscess in one.
    • The study highlights CT's ability to reveal the nature and extent of spinal and soft tissue diseases.

    Implications:

    • CT imaging offers significant value in diagnosing challenging cases of lumbosacral neuropathy.
    • This modality can guide treatment decisions for spinal neoplasms and infections.
    • Understanding CT's role can improve patient outcomes in complex neurological presentations.
