Essentially a narrowing of the intervertebral foramen (area where spinal cord runs down the spine). This narrowing can be due to trauma or growing osteophytes,that put pressure on the spinal cord and the nerves that come off the spinal cord. It can cause paresthesia, weakening of muscles and even death if severe.
