That is the term to indicate that a herniated (spinal) disk material is bulging into the space where the nerve ganglion is or where the nerve runs...
lateral recess encroachment
macula
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.
The left lateral recess refers to a condition whereby the narrowing reduces the available space within the exit doorway of the spinal canal. The left lateral recess may be caused by the arthritic overgrowth of the facet joints of the degeneration of the disc with the loss of the disc height.

This is called a broad based disc herniation
It's basically compression of your spine by the surrounding canal in the specific area your doctor is speaking of. Foramina, in this case, are the spaces in between your vertebrae. Encroachment is squeezing or compression of those spaces. I have bilateral bony foraminal encroachment of some of the disc spaces of my C spine. It doesn't normally bother me at all, though.

wide herniation that is larger at center mid-line pushing the disc out and beginning to but not yet touch or push on the thecal sac.
Environmental Encroachment was created in 1996.
Sounds like it's directly from a MRI report..... The annulus is the outer layers of the disc. A disc/spur complex would mean a combination of the disc bulge and spurring (rough edges) of bone. c4-c5 is referring to the disc/disc space between the 4th and 5th cervical (neck) vertebrae. The thecal sac surrounds the spinal cord and holds fluid that surrounds the cord. Yours is being mildly compressed at the level of c4-c5. Right foraminal encroachment means that the opening (foramen) where a nerve exits the spine is more narrow than normal.
