The holes on the left and right side of the spinal cord that the nerves are protected in from top of spine to lower spine.
I believe you actually mean "neural foramina". That is two words. It is also known as intervertebral foramina.
Narrowing of the neural foramina is the constriction of the nerve passageways, or foramina, in the spine. This results in compression of the nerve.
Foramina are openings. Neural foramina patent bilaterally just means that the openings in the spine are open, and allow the nerves to pass through normally...

"Foramina" is the plural form of "foramen", and a foramen is just a hole. The brain normally has several of these holes, or foramina in it, including the foramen of Magendie, foramina of Luschka, and foramina of Monroe. Which one are you talking about?

What are the symptoms and treatments for degenerative changes lumbar spine with multilevel foramina encroachment
Neural foramina capacious refer to enlarged openings in the vertebrae through which spinal nerves exit the spinal column. When these foramina are enlarged, it can potentially relieve pressure on the spinal nerves, which may be beneficial in certain medical conditions. However, if the foramina become too capacious or irregular, it can lead to instability or other complications. Proper assessment through imaging studies is essential to determine the significance of any changes in the size of the neural foramina.
When neural foramina appear patent, it means that they are open and not blocked or narrowed. This allows for proper passage of nerves and blood vessels through the spaces in the spine, preventing compression and preserving function. It is important for maintaining nerve health and preventing symptoms such as pain and weakness.
This means that the openings in the canal and foramina are normal in size, thus there is no restrictions that would cause any nerve problems.
Osteophytic encroachment of the neural central joints at C5-6 is when degeneration of a disc causes obstruction. This obstruction occurs at the foramina at C4-5.
