Narrowing of the neural foramina is the constriction of the nerve passageways, or foramina, in the spine. This results in compression of the nerve.
Foramina are openings. Neural foramina patent bilaterally just means that the openings in the spine are open, and allow the nerves to pass through normally...

Narrowing of the neural foramina bilaterally at the C5-6 level refers to a reduction in the space through which spinal nerves exit the vertebral column at this cervical segment. This condition can result from factors such as disc herniation, osteophyte formation, or spinal degeneration, potentially leading to nerve compression. Symptoms may include pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms and hands, depending on the severity of the narrowing and the affected nerves. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to manage symptoms and prevent further complications.
I believe you actually mean "neural foramina". That is two words. It is also known as intervertebral foramina.
neuroforaminal narrowing
The Neural Foramen are grooves in the vertebra, just behind the vertebral body that the nerves that branch off the spinal cord exit the spinal canal from. If they are grossly patent they are open, and free from obstruction, so there is no compression of the nerves that course through these channels.
"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?
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.

The lateral recess is an anatomical space within the spinal canal, located laterally to the spinal cord, where nerve roots exit the spinal column. The neural exit foramina, or intervertebral foramina, are openings between adjacent vertebrae that allow spinal nerves to exit the spinal canal and innervate various parts of the body. These structures are crucial for the proper functioning of the nervous system, as they facilitate the passage of nerve roots to their target tissues. Compression or narrowing of these areas can lead to neurological symptoms or pain.
Neural foramina capacious refer to enlarged openings in the vertebrae through which spinal nerves exit the spinal column. When these foramina are enlarged, it can potentially relieve pressure on the spinal nerves, which may be beneficial in certain medical conditions. However, if the foramina become too capacious or irregular, it can lead to instability or other complications. Proper assessment through imaging studies is essential to determine the significance of any changes in the size of the neural foramina.
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.
