There are two types of stenosis. One is in an artery and the second is in the vertebral canal. The term focal means that this narrowing is not large or lengthy. If it is in the vertebral canal, there can be no symptoms at all or mild ones. If in the artery, there's more concern because this narrowing can cause lack of oxygen and nutrients to get to the area the artery is going. There is surgical treatment for both.
