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.
C7-t1 What is patent central canal and neural foramen?
It means the canal and foramina are normal in size and allows for nerves to pass through freely without restriction.
Through what part of a vertebra does the spinal cord pass?
The central canal of the spinal cord. The central canal, also known as ependymal canal, is the cerebrospinal fluid-filled space that runs longitudinally through the length of the entire spinal cord.
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 is mild L5-S1 central canal stenosis?
Central canal stenosis is a condition that can cause numbness, pain, stiffness, cramping, and muscle weakness. A thorough medical exam and diagnostic testing will be completed to determine this condition.
What is lumbar stenosis?
It is horrible. Your back never stops hurting and it causes your knees and ankles to hurt also. Answer Pain, numbness, weakness or tingling in the arms/hands and the legs may indicate cervical spinal stenosis. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis experience the same symptoms but limited to the lower back, legs, and feet.
What does spondlitic ridging causing an apparent severe 6.5 mm central canal stenosis with severe bilateral neural foraman stenosis mean?
It basically boils down to there is a build up of bone Probably the result of some form of arthritis's. that is growing into a nerve restricting it. this results in pain and other problems.
The lumen of the neural tube develops into the?
Ventricles & central canal of spinal cord
Part of the central nervous system extending from the brainstem through the vertebral canal?
The brain stem. The vertebral canal is called the foramen magnum.
How does Bilobed disc protrusion resulting in moderate central canal stenosis and moderate bilateral neural femoral stenosis and moderate cord deformity at C5 6 effect you?
You are obviously talking about MRI or CT findings probably described in a radiologists report. ?Essentially these are findings describing what is seen on these pictures of your cervical spine (neck). ?Moderate here simply means that what they are talking about is not mild, but it is not severe. ?The central canal here is the space that the spinal cord is in. ?A neural foramen is the hole that the nerve root comes out of, in this case the C6 nerve root. ?Stenosis simply means narrowing of a canal or foramen (hole). ?C5-C6 is the level in the spine that is affected.The answer is that it may mean something significant, or it may mean nothing at all. ?Imaging findings do not always correlate with the clinical findings, i.e. problems that are seen on an MRI do not mean the patient is having symptoms or pain. ?If the neural foramen are stenotic at C5-6, then you might experience weakness in arm flexion, supination at the wrist may be weak, extension of the wrist may be weak, and problems with sensation may be seen in the thumb, index finger, and ring finger. ?If the cervical spinal cord is affected this may cause problems in your legs as well in bowel, bladder, or sexual function. ?Keep in mind that just because an MRI says that you have these things, it doesn't automatically mean you will have these symptoms. ??
Where is foraminal stenosis located?
Probably that is foramen magnum. This foramen or opening is there between your brain and spinal cord. It may get narrowed due to aging or some autoimmune disorder like ankylosing spondylitis. There can be other foramina also, which can get narrowed due to similar reasons.
What is bilateral minimal facet osteoarthritis without significant neural foraminal narrowing or central canal stenosis?
It means there is only a small amount of wear and tear in the pads between the vertebrae and that there is no problem at this time with the Chanel's that allow the nerves to pass between them.
