A sign of defective ossification in the pars interarticularis of a vertebra(spondylolysis). On oblique views of the lumbar spine, the appearance of the posterior elements has been likened to that of a scotty dog. The pedicle and transverse process form the eye and nose; the superior and inferior articular processes form the ear and leg; and the pars interarticularis forms the neck. A defect in the pars interarticularis thus appears as a collar around the neck of the scotty dog. [From MESRO, 1984, vol. 3., pp. 21, 26 and EISER, 1984, p. 372. ] 3, record 5, English, - scotty%20dog%20sign
