what is moderate uncovertebral arthropathy
MILD LEFT FORAMINAL NARROWING AT C5-C6 SECONDARY TO UNCOVERTEBRAL JOIN HYPERMETROPHY AND SPUR FORMATION
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
My wife has been diagmosed with exit foraminal stenosis involving C5/6 bilaterally due to oncovertebral arthrosis.Subtle disc space narrowing at C5/6 is present.No instability is noted.Good range of movement is demonstrated with stress views without instability. Conclusion C5/6 spondylosis with bilateral exit foraminal stenosis 1. Is her condition very serious 2.She suffers from severe headaches - can this be caused by her condition. 3.How can we assist her to manage or correct her condition. please advise
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.
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.
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 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.
