vertebrae
Inter means "between", vertebral obviously means vertebrae as mentioned above, and foramina is plural for foramen, which is a hole.
Intervertebral foramina are formed in the space between two vertebrae. When two or more vertebral bones are stacked, the intervertebral foramina would be inferior to the pedicles of the superior vertebrae and superior to the pedicles of the inferior vertebrae. It will create a hole that goes between the two vertebrae horizontally. The spinal cord goes through the vertebral foramen vertically, and the nerve roots slip out horizontally through the intervertebral foramina.

What is the purpose of the vertebra formina?
The vertebral foramina is where the spinal cord passes through the vertebrae (bone).
What is C3-c7 neural foraminal narrowing?
Narrowing of the neural formina at the C7- 1 was a narrowing of the spinal canal where the nerve roots exit. This can occur with or without disc protrusion.

What is the meaning of patent neural formina thecal sac?
The term "patent neural foramina thecal sac" refers to the openings (neural foramina) in the spine that allow spinal nerves to exit from the spinal canal and the surrounding protective sac (thecal sac) that encases the spinal cord and nerve roots. "Patent" indicates that these openings are unobstructed and open, allowing for normal nerve function. In a clinical context, this phrase is often used in imaging reports to indicate that there are no blockages or abnormalities affecting the passage of nerves in that area.
What does 'Lesion invades the right psoas muscle and enters the right neural formina' mean?
The psoas muscle is responsible for stabilizing the spine and allowing it to flex and also allows for rotation of the hips for movement. A lesion in this area would likely cause lower back pain and would limit a person's range of motion and flexibility. If the lesion were to spread to the right neural foramina, this could cause further complications since this is a nerual pathway down the spinal cord. If the lesion were to spread to this area it could occlude where those nerve fibers exit.
What is the treatment for a fractured vertebra?
This depends on the type of fracture, whether there was any impingement on the spinal canal or neural formina, and any resultant neurologic deficits. For compression fractures without any impingement or neurologic deficits, frequently the treatment is pain medication. If there is possible impingement on the spinal canal, surgery may be necessary, and if there is neurologic deficit or abnormalities, surgery is necessary, as well as steroids. A brace may also be used to help stabilize the spine while healing takes place. You should consult your orthopedic or spinal surgeon about the recommended treatment for your fracture.
What is moderate central thecal sac effacement and mild bilateral foraminal stenosis?
Moderate central thecal sac effacement refers to a narrowing of the space around the spinal cord in the center of the spinal canal, which may result in compression of the spinal cord. Mild bilateral foraminal stenosis refers to a narrowing of the openings through which spinal nerves exit the spinal canal on both sides, potentially causing compression of the nerve roots. Both conditions can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the affected areas of the body.
What is the treatment for a fractured lumbar vertebra?
This depends on the type of fracture, whether there was any impingement on the spinal canal or neural formina, and any resultant neurologic deficits. For compression fractures without any impingement or neurologic deficits, frequently the treatment is pain medication. If there is possible impingement on the spinal canal, surgery may be necessary, and if there is neurologic deficit or abnormalities, surgery is necessary, as well as steroids. A brace may also be used to help stabilize the spine while healing takes place. You should consult your orthopedic or spinal surgeon about the recommended treatment for your fracture.
