Bow hunter's syndrome secondary to lateral and posterior spondylosis: illustrative case.

Key Points

This case aims to demonstrate a unique occurrence of bow hunter's syndrome due to lateral and posterior spondylosis compression.
Case analysis of a patient with bow hunter's syndrome
Assessment of compression at two cervical levels
Evaluation of vascular and bony structures
First documented case of bow hunter's syndrome from cervical spondylosis
Identification of compression at adjacent cervical levels
Need for thorough vascular and bony assessment in such cases

Abstract

This case highlights the importance of considering multilevel, multidirectional osteophytic compression in the evaluation of BHS. To the authors' knowledge, this represents the first documented instance of BHS resulting from concurrent lateral and posterior compression at two adjacent cervical levels, emphasizing the need for comprehensive vascular and bony assessment in atypical presentations. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25718.
