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.

What is the meaning of bilateral mild foraminal stenosis of a symmetrical degree?
Bilateral mild foraminal stenosis of a symmetrical degree refers to a condition where the foramina—small openings in the spine through which nerves exit—are narrowed on both sides (bilaterally) to a mild extent and to a similar degree (symmetrical). This narrowing can potentially compress the nerves, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the areas supplied by those nerves. The term "mild" indicates that the severity of the stenosis is not severe, suggesting a lower risk of significant nerve compression. Regular monitoring and conservative management are often recommended unless symptoms worsen.
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 does mild right neural foraminal narrowing C4-5 due to right uncinate hypertrophy mean?
neurol foraminal right narrowing c4-5 mild moderate can it be serious?
What is moderate central thecal sac effacement and mild bilateral foraminal stenosis?
Moderate central thecal sac effacement refers to a narrowing of the space around the spinal cord in the center of the spinal canal, which may result in compression of the spinal cord. Mild bilateral foraminal stenosis refers to a narrowing of the openings through which spinal nerves exit the spinal canal on both sides, potentially causing compression of the nerve roots. Both conditions can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the affected areas of the body.
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 moderately severe right foght facet hypertrophy with moderate bilateral foraminal stenosis at C4-5?
The C3 and C4 are 3rd and 4th cervical vertebra. They touch each other toward the posterior surface at the facets. The term mild hypertrophy means that there is a little more than normal the amount of bone there. See link below:
What is mild posterior protrusion at C6-7 mildly effaces the thecalthere is also mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing from uncinate spurring?
Mild posterior protrusion at C6-7 refers to a slight bulging of the cervical intervertebral disc at this level, which is causing mild pressure on the thecal sac, the protective covering around the spinal cord. Additionally, the presence of uncinate spurring, which are bone growths at the edges of the vertebrae, is resulting in mild narrowing of the neural foramina on both sides. This narrowing can potentially affect the spinal nerves as they exit the spinal column, possibly leading to symptoms such as pain or numbness in the arms. Overall, these findings suggest mild degenerative changes in the cervical spine.
What is bilateral uncovertebral hypertrophy and mild bilateral foraminal narrowing in c5-c6 mean?
Bilateral uncovertebral hypertrophy at the C5-C6 level refers to an enlargement of the uncovertebral joints, which are located on the sides of the cervical vertebrae, potentially leading to nerve compression. Mild bilateral foraminal narrowing indicates that the openings (foramina) through which spinal nerves exit the vertebrae are slightly constricted on both sides. This condition can result in neck pain or radiating symptoms due to nerve irritation. Overall, these findings suggest degenerative changes in the cervical spine that may warrant monitoring or treatment depending on symptoms.
What does Bony changes are again noted at the C6-C7 resulting in flattening of the thecal sac and mild spinal stenosis. mean?
Cervical spinal stenosis is a broad term which refers to a range of symptoms which can result from the narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck. ... This canal sits directly behind the bony blocks, or veterbrae which form the spine. It contains the ... This is known as cervical foraminal stenosis.
What is Grade 1 degenerative anterolisthesis of L4 on L5 with mild to moderate left sided canal and foraminal stenosis due to bulging and facet hypertrophy?
Grade one anterolisthesis of C4 on c5 is mild movement of the c4 cervical disc. This is most commonly caused by a sudden trauma.
