What is osteophytic encroachment of the neural central joints at C56?
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.

What is mild contour flattening of the ventral aspect of the thecal sac associated with mild encroachment of the neural foramen?
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 is the meaning of widely patent neural foramina?
"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 does right-sided neural foramen encroachment at c3-4 and c4-5 actually mean?
This means that there is narrowing of the passageway (foramen) on the right side of the spine at the levels C3-4 and C4-5, which can result in compression or irritation of the nerve roots exiting the spinal cord in that region. This can lead to symptoms such as pain, weakness, or numbness in the areas supplied by those affected nerves.
What does this mean C2-c3 patent central canal and neural foramen?
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.
What is mild left neural foraminal narrowing?
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.
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.
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.
