The central canal is a narrow, tube-like structure located within the spinal cord that contains cerebrospinal fluid and runs the length of the spinal column. It plays a critical role in protecting the spinal cord and facilitating the circulation of nutrients and waste. Neural foramina, on the other hand, are openings between the vertebrae that allow spinal nerves and blood vessels to exit and enter the spinal column. These foramina are essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system, as they provide pathways for nerve signals to reach various parts of the body.

What is C3-c7 neural foraminal narrowing?
Narrowing of the neural formina at the C7- 1 was a narrowing of the spinal canal where the nerve roots exit. This can occur with or without disc protrusion.

What is bilateral minimal facet osteoarthritis without significant neural foraminal narrowing or central canal stenosis?
It means there is only a small amount of wear and tear in the pads between the vertebrae and that there is no problem at this time with the Chanel's that allow the nerves to pass between them.
Through what part of a vertebra does the spinal cord pass?
The central canal of the spinal cord. The central canal, also known as ependymal canal, is the cerebrospinal fluid-filled space that runs longitudinally through the length of the entire spinal cord.

What is icd 9 code for neural foraminal stenosis?
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.
What does an element of neural foraminal narrowing mean?

What is moderate neural foraminal narrowing?
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.
Is nervous tissue housed in the neural canal of the thoracic vertebra?
No, nervous tissue is not housed in the neural canal of the thoracic vertebra. The neural canal, or vertebral canal, contains the spinal cord, which is part of the central nervous system, as well as spinal nerves and their surrounding protective membranes. Nervous tissue itself is found in the spinal cord and peripheral nerves but is not located within the vertebral canal itself. Instead, the canal serves as a protective passage for these structures.
C7-t1 What is patent central canal and neural foramen?
It means the canal and foramina are normal in size and allows for nerves to pass through freely without restriction.
