Foraminal stenosis is a condition that happens when narrowing in parts of your spine causes compression of your spinal nerves. Most cases don’t cause symptoms, even with severe narrowing. However, when there are symptoms, pain and nerve-related issues can happen.
Cervical foraminal stenosis can lead to nerve irritation or injury. Patients with severe foraminal stenosis may experience more intense symptoms. Spinal nerves exiting lower in the neck, such as the C6 spinal nerve, act as both a sensory and a motor root to the arms.
Cervical foraminal stenosis causes pain and nerve issues from bone spurs pressing on spinal nerve roots. Degenerative causes, such as bone spurs (osteophytes) in the neck, cervical degenerative disc disease, and/or thickened ligaments may directly compress the spinal nerve root.
Foraminal stenosis is when a bony opening around a nerve root becomes clogged and presses on a nerve. Learn more about what causes this condition, what to expect, and more. Skip to main content
Severe foraminal narrowing, or foraminal stenosis, occurs when one or more of the foraminal canals — the openings next to the vertebrae that allow the nerve roots to exit the spinal canal — narrow. This is usually related to a degenerative spine condition, like a herniated disc or spinal osteoarthritis, which can displace spinal anatomy and ...
Foraminal stenosis is the narrowing or tightening of the openings between the bones in your spine. These small openings are called the foramen. Foraminal stenosis is a specific type of spinal...
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the severity of CFS and clinical symptoms in terms of severity and sidedness. (2) Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 75 consecutive patients with degenerative CFS. We graded 900 foramina from C3–4 to T1–2 using Park’s grading system.
