The neural foramina are the "windows" through which the nerves pass. Patent in this case means "open." So the phrase says this aspect of your bones is normal.

Narrowing of the neural foramina is the constriction of the nerve passageways, or foramina, in the spine. This results in compression of the nerve.


What is the meaning of patent neural formina thecal sac?

The term "patent neural foramina thecal sac" refers to the openings (neural foramina) in the spine that allow spinal nerves to exit from the spinal canal and the surrounding protective sac (thecal sac) that encases the spinal cord and nerve roots. "Patent" indicates that these openings are unobstructed and open, allowing for normal nerve function. In a clinical context, this phrase is often used in imaging reports to indicate that there are no blockages or abnormalities affecting the passage of nerves in that area.

With marked narrowing of the neural foramina?

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.


What is neural formina capacious?

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.
