MILD LEFT FORAMINAL NARROWING AT C5-C6 SECONDARY TO UNCOVERTEBRAL JOIN HYPERMETROPHY AND SPUR FORMATION
neurol foraminal right narrowing c4-5 mild moderate can it be serious?
The corona
Severe bilateral foraminal narrowing is a condition in the spine. It is very serious, affects both side of the body stemming from the intervertebral foramina, and it makes those nerve passages smaller.
The uncovertebral joints are in the neck between C3 - C7. These joints are where the discs meet. Hypertrophy in these joints means that an unusually high number of bone spurs are growing there. The most common cause of this is arthritis.
My wife has been diagmosed with exit foraminal stenosis involving C5/6 bilaterally due to oncovertebral arthrosis.Subtle disc space narrowing at C5/6 is present.No instability is noted.Good range of movement is demonstrated with stress views without instability. Conclusion C5/6 spondylosis with bilateral exit foraminal stenosis 1. Is her condition very serious 2.She suffers from severe headaches - can this be caused by her condition. 3.How can we assist her to manage or correct her condition. please advise
neuroforaminal narrowing
This could affect your range of motion.You may also have some numbness or tingling
There's actually 2 separate indications in your Radiology report:Mild bilateral neural foraminal stenosis is a common problem with most people. The Foramen is the spinal opening at each vertebrae where the nerves pass through; stenosis is the term for narrowing, and in this case it's stating that there's foraminal narrowing in the L5-S1 vertebral area, which is not uncommon.The "small tear" is at the posterior (rear) annulus of the L5-S1 disk, meaning there's a small rupture in the rear of the disk membrane.
Moderate right foraminal narrowing at C5-6 is narrowing of the canals in the spine. C5-6 stands for cervical number 5 and number 6.
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.
