Note both soft tissue thickening of the ligament flavum and the more dense calcification both contributing to right sided subarticular/lateral recess stenosis.](https://radedasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/ct-imaging-ligamentum-flavum-hypertrophy-thickening-calcification-radedasia-1024x1024.webp)

FROM TODAY'S REPORTING
LIGAMENTUM FLAVUM CALCIFICATION
Â
Combination of thickened ligamentum flavum (Orange arrow) and Localized calcification of the flavum (Blue arrow) results in right sided Subarticular/ lateral recess stenosis (Pink arrow). Compare recess with left side (Green arrow) which is not narrowed. Canal stenosis also present.

We look at all of these topics in more detail in our Guided SPINE & SIJ Imaging Mini Fellowships.
