Neuroforamen is actually a space or tunnel though which the nerve roots originating from the spinal cord exit and go out to supply different muscles with nerve signals and carry sensory signals from different areas to brain.
Neuroforamenal stenosis is a condition in which this tunnel gets narrowed. The reasons for this stenosis are either Arthritis of the facet joints of the spine, disc protrusions,trauma, tumor or infections. Most common reason being degenerative changes in spine due to old age and arthritis.
Patients with neuroforaminal stenosis present with sharp shooting pain due to compression of the nerve root, they may also get weakness of the muscle supplied by that particular nerve root.
Treatment is initially steroid injection and pain killer if the patient does not respond to this conservative treatment then surgical decompression gives good result.

What is mild to moderate left foraminal stenosis?
Moderate left foraminal stenosis is compression of the cervical spinal nerves that travel through a narrowing of the foramina. Causes of the narrowing include herniated disc material and bone spurs in the neck.
What is mild bilateral neural foraminal stenosis.?
There's actually 2 separate indications in your Radiology report:Mild bilateral neural foraminal stenosis is a common problem with most people. The Foramen is the spinal opening at each vertebrae where the nerves pass through; stenosis is the term for narrowing, and in this case it's stating that there's foraminal narrowing in the L5-S1 vertebral area, which is not uncommon.The "small tear" is at the posterior (rear) annulus of the L5-S1 disk, meaning there's a small rupture in the rear of the disk membrane.

Bilateral neural foraminal stenosis?
The Radiology report indicates that there's a a narrowing (stenosis) on both sides (bilateral) of the foramen, which are the holes through each vertebrae where the nerves exit. Stenosis common in most people as they age, though it can happen faster in cases where there's a spinal degeneration problem or other disease.
