A member asked:

Can a l4 l5 pars defect cause sciatica pain?

Dr. Michael Gabor answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

The defect itself: doesn't cause radicular symptoms(sciatica), but it can result in slippage of one vertebra over another(spondylolisthesis), and extensive degenerative changes, which can.
