neurol foraminal right narrowing c4-5 mild moderate can it be serious?
The left neural foramen is where a nerve passes through a bone on the left side. Impingement is crowding. So left neural foraminal impingement is a crowding of that bony passage for the nerve.
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.
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.

A herniated disc in the low back which makes the foramina (the bony holes on either side through which the spinal nerves pass) narrow. This can result in one or both of the spinal nerves being pinched, causing pain or numbness to radiate down one or both legs. On the other hand, it's possible that neither nerve is pinched at all.
Mild right-sided foraminal narrowing secondary to uncinate spurring means that the space available for nerves to travel through is narrowed. The reason for this in this case is the uncinate spurring, which are bone spurs shaped like hooks, are intruding into that space.
Mild contour flattening of the ventral aspect of the thecal sac suggests a slight alteration in the shape of the protective membrane surrounding the spinal cord, often due to nearby structural changes like disc bulging or bone spurs. This condition can lead to mild encroachment of the neural foramen, which may affect the nerve roots exiting the spinal column. While often asymptomatic, it can sometimes contribute to localized pain or neurological symptoms depending on the degree of compression. Monitoring and conservative management are typically recommended unless significant symptoms arise.
What do they do for this. It is some kind of operation done?
Mild disk interspace narrowing is the physical description for "mild degenerative disks" or possibly degenerative disk disease.
