Foraminal stenosis with impingement of nerve roots refers to narrowing of the openings (foramen) in the spine through which nerves pass, leading to compression of the nerves as they exit the spinal column. This can result in symptoms like pain, tingling, weakness, or numbness in the areas supplied by those affected nerves. Treatment may include physical therapy, medication, injections, or in severe cases, surgical intervention.

Why does a persons leg and foot drag on the ground when they have siatica?
The nerve (the sciatic) goes to the muscles that move the leg. If the "pinching" is removed by opening the foramen (Foraminal Stenosis) that the nerve goes through, the ability to walk will come back.
What is the 12 pairs of peripheral nerves that branch out from the brain?
You are speaking of the 12 cranial nerves:I. Olfactory nerve which branches out of the telencephalonII. Optic which branches out of the diencephalonIII. Oculomotor nerve which branches out of the mesencephalonIV. Trochlear nerve nerve which branches out of the mesencephalonV. Trigeminal nerve which branches out of the ponsVI. Abducens nerve which branches out of the ponsVII. Facial nerve which branches out of the ponsVIII. Vestibulochochlear nerve which branches out of the ponsIX. Glossopharangeal nerve nerve which branches out of the medullaX. Vagus nerve nerve which branches out of the medullaXI. Accessory nerve nerve which branches out of the medulla & cervical spineXII. Hypoglossal nerve nerve which branches out of the medulla
Which nerve belongs to the peripheral nervous system A. Sciatic nerve B. Vagus nerve C. Optic nerve D. Trigeminal nerve?
sciatic
What nerves combine to form the auditory nerve?
The auditory nerve is formed by the cochlear nerve and the vestibular nerve. The cochlear nerve is responsible for transmitting auditory information from the cochlea to the brain, while the vestibular nerve is responsible for transmitting information related to balance and spatial orientation.
Where does the spinal nerve take nerve impulses?
the spinal nerve sends nerve impulses away from the CNS
What is ; bilateral significant foraminal Narrowing with compression of the exiting L5 nerve roots?
The corona
Nueral foraminal stenosis?
Neural foraminal stenosis is a condition in which a spinal nerve is compressed, causing pain and numbness of the lower back or the neck. It can be caused by herniated or bulging discs, bone spurs, or collapse of the spinal disc space.
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.
Will you need surgery for focal left foraminal disc protrusion that contacts the exiting left L4 nerve root?
You might need surgery for focal left foraminal disc protrusion that contacts the exiting left L4 nerve root if the protrusion is affecting your quality of life. This type of surgery is most often accomplished via a very small incision.
What is severe bilateral foraminal narrowing?
Severe bilateral foraminal narrowing is a condition in the spine. It is very serious, affects both side of the body stemming from the intervertebral foramina, and it makes those nerve passages smaller.
Why does a persons leg and foot drag on the ground when they have siatica?
The nerve (the sciatic) goes to the muscles that move the leg. If the "pinching" is removed by opening the foramen (Foraminal Stenosis) that the nerve goes through, the ability to walk will come back.
What discs are found between the spinal cord?
Can a "severe left foraminal disc osteophyte complex and contact of the exiting C6 nerve" cause problems with vomiting?
Foraminal stenosis with impingement of t11 nerve roots?
Foraminal stenosis with impingement of the T11 nerve roots refers to a narrowing of the intervertebral foramina at the thoracic level, which can compress the T11 nerve roots as they exit the spinal column. This condition may lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in areas innervated by the affected nerve roots. Treatment options typically include physical therapy, pain management, or, in more severe cases, surgical intervention to relieve the pressure on the nerves. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent long-term complications.
Translate the doctor's language into common English there is evidence of nerve entrapment on hip flexion and knee extension?
Vertebral Foraminal Entrapment on Hip Flexion and Knee Extension
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.
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 C3-c7 neural foraminal narrowing?
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.
