I have to have a CT Head/Neck multi-imaging scan at Mayo today, June 29th, in order to rule out Bow Hunters Syndrome, a very rare type of stenosis of the arteries in the cervical spine that impedes blood flow to the brain whenever someone turns his neck to the right and/or left. There are conflicting research studies as to whether or not this syndrome can be treated or not. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has this syndrome or who knows anything about it. Thank you.

@rbcookson, how did the CT scan go? Did you get clarity on your diagnosis?
