Severe bilateral foraminal stenosis in C5-6, C6-7, and C7-T1. My husband has been experiencing increasing numbness, tingling, etc, down one arm and now down both. He got an MRI and the findings were Severe bilateral foraminal stenosis in C5-6, C6-7, and moderate to severe in C7-T1. He is a physician in solo practice, and we obviously don’t ...
Severe bilateral neural foraminal stenosis. Hi I received my MRI report that states grade 1 retrolisthesis L4/L5 2mm. Severe degenerative endplate changes at L4/5 severe space narrowing L4/5 broad based disc bulge and facet arthropathy with mild central canal stenosis and severe bilateral foraminal stenosis all at L4/5.
Severe stenosis in the cervical spine generally needs to be addressed. There is some risk living with this disorder. The spinal canal changes in volume with neck position. Flexion (bending forward) opens the canal and extension (bending backwards) narrows the canal. If you were to have a fall causing neck extension, you could pinch the cord ...
Symptoms of Cervical Degenerative Facet Disease. Facet degeneration or arthrosis causes four potential symptoms; neck pain, headaches, arm pain from foraminal stenosis (compression of the nerve root) and instability pain (degenerative spondylolysthesis with potential spinal cord compression). Local neck pain is probably the most common symptom ...
An Overview of Lateral Recess Stenosis. Lateral recess stenosis is a common form of nerve root compression from the narrowing of a nerve root channel in the lower back. The lateral recess is the location of the transitioning nerve root. This area is bounded by the pedicle laterally, the disc anteriorly, the spinal canal medically and the facets ...
Uncovertebral spurring and facet arthropathy with moderate to severe bilateral neural foraminal stenosis. C4-5: Postsurgical level. No significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis. C5-6: Postsurgical level. No significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis. C6-7: No spinal canal stenosis.
My basic questions are (1) whether you have ever seen a shoulder freeze post-ACDF and (2) why I would still have osteophytes at the operative level. I had ACDF at C6-C7 almost five months ago. I had a 6 mm partially calcified disc extrusion at C6-C7 resulting in severe central stenosis, as well as severe bilateral foraminal stenosis at C6-C7.
Findings: Mild straightening of the cervical spine is noted. There is evidence of disc osteophyte complex and diffuse disc bulge at C3-C4 level resulting in contour deformity and causing mild thecal sac indentation and moderate right neural foraminal stenosis. At C4-C5 level, there is combination of disc osteophyte complex, diffuse disc bulge ...
If the bone spurs push medially (inside the spinal canal), then lateral recess stenosis of the spine occurs (crowding of the traversing nerve root). If the spurs form in front, foraminal stenosis results (crowding of the exiting nerve root). If the facet spurs tear the capsule, a ganglion cyst can form which can cause stenosis in either location.
FACET JOINTS: Scattered mild and mild to moderate facet arthropathy. C2-C3: Normal disc. No spinal stenosis or neural compression. C3-C4 Normal disc. Mild narrowing of the central spinal canal with an AP sac diameter of 9.5 mm. Uncovertebral hypertrophy contributes to moderate to severe right and mild left neurforaminal narrowing.
