It means there is only a small amount of wear and tear in the pads between the vertebrae and that there is no problem at this time with the Chanel's that allow the nerves to pass between them.
narrowing or blockage (stenosis) in the coronary arteries, with narrowing greater than 50% considered significant
A finding of significant narrowing of the left main coronary artery and/or blockage or severe narrowing in the high, left anterior descending coronary artery.
Narrowing of the largest artery in the body is called AS (aortic stenosis).
Stent is the treatment for severe narrowing of the sub clavicle artery.
Mitral stenosis is the medical term meaning narrowing of the mitral valve.
The corona
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.
neuroforaminal narrowing
This could affect your range of motion.You may also have some numbness or tingling
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.
Moderate right foraminal narrowing at C5-6 is narrowing of the canals in the spine. C5-6 stands for cervical number 5 and number 6.
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.
neurol foraminal right narrowing c4-5 mild moderate can it be serious?
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.
The Radiology report indicates that there's a a narrowing (stenosis) on both sides (bilateral) of the foramen, which are the holes through each vertebrae where the nerves exit. Stenosis common in most people as they age, though it can happen faster in cases where there's a spinal degeneration problem or other disease.
Bilateral foraminal narrowing at the C3 through C6 levels refers to a condition where the openings (foramina) between the cervical vertebrae become constricted on both sides, potentially compressing the spinal nerves that exit through these foramina. This narrowing can result from factors such as degenerative disc disease, bone spurs, or herniated discs. Symptoms may include neck pain, radiating pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies like MRI or CT scans to assess the extent of the 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.
