Moderate bilateral neural foraminal stenosis c5 c6. Bilateral foraminal stenosis is usually caused by a degenerative condition of the spine. 3 spondylosis usually results in the formation of bone spurs osteophytes eventually leading to stenosis or narrowing of the intervertebral foramina or spinal canal. Foraminal narrowing occurs when there is nerve compression or irritation which results in less space available for the nerve roots to pass through. This typically happens only with the foramen on one side of the vertebrae unilateral foraminal stenosis 1.
As the nerve becomes trapped there may be pain muscle. Causes of bilateral foraminal stenosis. When the foramen close in the nerve roots passing. Spondylosis degeneration of the c5 c6 vertebrae and intervertebral disc occurs at a higher rate compared to other cervical vertebrae.
Foraminal narrowing can cause radiating pain along the length of the nerve as well as numbness tinging or weakness within the muscle group innervated by the affected nerve. If you have symptoms of pain or neurological sym. Cause bilateral foraminal stenosis is happen when the space between the spine and bone is narrow. Neural foraminal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing is a type of spinal stenosis it occurs when the small openings between the bones in your spine called the neural foramina narrow or tighten.
However in some cases both foramen are narrowed causing bilateral foraminal stenosis 1. Bilateral foraminal stenosis is one of condition when the people have the small opening of spine and our bone. Foraminal stenosis is a condition in which the vertebral foramen become narrowed 1. Usually this is happen to the adult people.
Foraminal stenosis is a specific type of spinal stenosis. Neural foraminal stenosis is a condition where a nerve in the spine becomes compressed as the openings between the vertebrae become smaller.
