Bilateral neural foraminal compromise

    • How serious is foraminal stenosis?

      Severity of foraminal stenosis. This condition often develops as a result of herniated discs, bulging discs, bone spurs, facet cysts and thickening of the ligaments. When the nerves become pinched as they exit the tunnel, this can increase the severity of your condition, resulting in back pain, numbness, tingling and weakness.


    • How dangerous is cervical spinal stenosis?

      Unfortunately, the spinal cord compression can lead to serious problems such as extreme weakness, or even paralysis. With cervical stenosis, anyone who develops signs of spinal cord compression (myelopathy) may need more invasive treatment, such as surgery.


    • What causes neural foraminal narrowing?

      Various conditions or diseases cause the openings to narrow, causing compression of the nerves passing through the openings. Disc degeneration, due to the natural wear and tear of aging, is the most common cause of neural foraminal narrowing.

      The epidural fat, which acts as the third cushion, can be considered as if it was the Styrofoam within the bony box of the spinal canal. Neural compression is very unlikely when the nerve roots are surrounded by epidural fat. Function 3. Slide 18) The integrity of the bony neural ring is best evaluated by cross sectional imaging in the axial plane.
