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.

It is the closing of a space through bone. You can replace the word foraminal with "canal", such as the spinal canal. It is gaining tissue and compressing the nerves.

What is mild bilateral neural foraminal stenosis.?
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.

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.
Bilateral neural foraminal stenosis?
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.
