In general, in patients with radiating pain, nerve root compression is suspected, and the cause has been treated under the diagnosis of a herniated lumbar disc or spinal stenosis. However, inflammation around the nerve root alone can stimulate the nerve root by inflammatory cytokines, resulting in radiculopathy. In this case report, we report radiculopathy in a patient diagnosed with spondylolysis without disc degenerative change or protrusion. Also, the pathogenesis of low back pain and radiating pain is reviewed through literature.
