What is right neural foramen?
what is disc protrusion in the right neural foramen abutting right L5 nerve root
What is encroachment upon the neural foramen?
You have to look at the definition of the words to understand this statement. Neural refers to nerves. Foramen is an opening through which the nerves exit. Stenosis means that this opening is narrowed. The result is something we call a pinched nerve.
What technologies allow for the detection of blood flow and neural activitys of the brain?
foramen magnum
What does this mean C2-c3 patent central canal and neural foramen?
This typically indicates that there is no obvious compression or narrowing of the central canal or neural foramen at the C2-C3 level of the spine. "Patent" means that these spaces are open and unobstructed. It suggests there are no significant structural abnormalities in this area.
What does right-sided neural foramen encroachment at c3-4 and c4-5 actually mean?
There's something crowing the space (encroaching) in the bony hole that allows passage of the nerve (foramen) between the third and fourth and the fourth and fifth vertebrae in the neck.
What is the meaning of widely patent neural foramina?
"Foramina" is the plural form of "foramen", and a foramen is just a hole. The brain normally has several of these holes, or foramina in it, including the foramen of Magendie, foramina of Luschka, and foramina of Monroe. Which one are you talking about?
What does neural foramen patent mean?
iT MEANS THAT THE OPENINGS WHERE THE NERVES COME THROUGH THE VERTIFRAL SPACES ORE OPEN.....THERE IS NO COMPRESSION OF THOSE NERVES CAUSED AT THAT POINT....
What is mild left neural foraminal narrowing?
The left neural foramen is where a nerve passes through a bone on the left side. Impingement is crowding. So left neural foraminal impingement is a crowding of that bony passage for the nerve.
What is icd 9 code for neural foraminal stenosis?
The ICD-9 code for neural foranimal stenosis is 724.9. Foranimal stenosis is nerve compression of the nerve that leaves the spinal canal through the foramen. It can occur in the neck or lower back.
What is moderate neural foraminal narrowing?
Neural foraminal compromise is the narrowing of the spinal column. It is the result of disc degeneration over a period of time. Bulging and narrowing of the spinal column, or foramen, causes nerve compression or bulging in the affected area.
What does severe narrowing of the right c3-4 neural foramen mean?
The foramen is the portal in the vertebra where the spinal cord branches out into nerves that run to other parts of the body. Narrowing can constrict this nerve, which in turn can result in pain, numbness and in more extreme cases, loss of motor control -- it may also be asymptomatic. C3 is the third cervical vertabra -- that would be in your neck.
What does the word pore mean?
An opening, hole, perforation, or foramen. A pore, meatus, or foramen. example a sweat pore
