Flowing osteophytes in the thoracic spine refer to bony outgrowths that develop along the edges of vertebrae, often associated with degenerative changes such as osteoarthritis. These osteophytes can appear as continuous, smooth bony formations, resembling a "flowing" pattern on imaging studies. They may lead to spinal canal or foraminal stenosis, potentially causing symptoms like pain or neurological deficits if they impinge on surrounding structures. Their presence is typically indicative of chronic spinal degeneration.
