What is right-sided mild foraminal narrowing secondary to uncinate spurring?
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.
What is uncinate spurring mean?
Uncinate spurring refers to the formation of bony projections, or spurs, that develop on the uncinate process of the cervical vertebrae. This condition is often associated with degenerative changes in the spine, such as osteoarthritis, and can lead to narrowing of the spinal canal or neural foramina. Symptoms may include neck pain, stiffness, or nerve-related issues due to nerve root compression. Treatment options vary based on severity and can include physical therapy, medication, or, in some cases, surgery.
What is uncinate hypertrophy with endplate spurring in the c-spine?
Uncinate hypertrophy with endplate spurring in the cervical spine (c-spine) refers to the enlargement of the uncinate processes, which are bony projections on the lateral edges of the cervical vertebrae, often associated with degenerative changes. This condition can lead to the formation of bone spurs (osteophytes) at the vertebral endplates, potentially causing narrowing of the intervertebral foramen and impinging on nearby nerves. Symptoms may include neck pain, stiffness, or radicular pain if nerve roots are affected. It is commonly seen in older adults and can be associated with age-related degeneration of the spine.
What is mild anterior disc margin osteophytes?
posterior disc osteophyte at c5 c6 mild indentation on anterior thecal sac. there is uncinate spurring with left formaminal narrowing c5 c6 . would this require surgery?
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 uncinate hypertrophy?
Uncinate hypertrophy is usually caused by osteoarthritis. This occurs when joints in the neck and spine grow bigger than normal.
What does left uncinate hypertrophy and grade 1 disc protrusion mean?
left uncinate hypertrophy and grade i disc protrusion mean spinal canal stenosis

What is end plate degenerative spurring?
End plate degenerative spurring is used to describe a condition of the spine. Degenerative spurring is when there is wearing or deterioration of the bones.

uncinate fasciculus
The Partial excision of the uncinate process is called?
The partial excision of the uncinate process is called "uncinectomy." This surgical procedure is often performed in the context of sinus surgery, particularly for addressing issues related to chronic sinusitis or to improve drainage in the maxillary sinus. By removing a portion of the uncinate process, surgeons aim to enhance airflow and reduce obstruction in the nasal passages.
