Sounds like a radiologist saying that he doesn't see any signs of squeezing of nerves on an X-ray.
Neural compression syndrome is a medical condition where you have pressure on a single nerve. This will cause pain, numbness, and tingling.
It means that even though there is compression of the material between the discs there is no interference or pressure being put on the nerves that pass between them to the body.
Narrowing of the neural foramina is the constriction of the nerve passageways, or foramina, in the spine. This results in compression of the nerve.
Neural foraminal stenosis without nerve compression refers to a narrowing of the foramina, the openings through which spinal nerves exit the spinal column. Despite the narrowing, there is no compression of the nerves themselves, meaning the nerves are not being pinched or affected in their function. This condition can lead to potential symptoms, but in this case, the absence of nerve compression suggests a lower risk of significant neurological deficits or pain. Monitoring and conservative management might be appropriate, depending on symptoms.
iT MEANS THAT THE OPENINGS WHERE THE NERVES COME THROUGH THE VERTIFRAL SPACES ORE OPEN.....THERE IS NO COMPRESSION OF THOSE NERVES CAUSED AT THAT POINT....
What do they do for this. It is some kind of operation done?
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.
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.
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.
No central canal stenosis means that the central canal of the spine, which houses the spinal cord, is of normal width and not narrowed, indicating that there is no compression on the spinal cord. Similarly, the absence of neural foramen stenosis signifies that the openings where spinal nerves exit the spine are also of normal size, allowing for unhindered nerve passage. Together, these findings suggest a healthy spinal structure without signs of nerve compression or spinal cord issues.
Neural encroachment occurs when neural tissue invades or affects adjacent structures, often due to pathological conditions such as tumors, inflammation, or injury. This encroachment can lead to compression or disruption of normal neural function, resulting in various neurological symptoms. Factors such as the growth characteristics of tumors or the extent of inflammatory processes can influence the degree of encroachment. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing effective treatment strategies.
