Neural foraminal stenosis
Symptoms
Emanating pain, may result in palsy in the innervation area.
Cause
Neural foraminal stenosis may be due to height loss in the spinal disk, and resulting loss of distance between the bodies overlying and underlying the resp. disk, or to defective position. Attrition, calcification and arthrosis of the small vertebral joints may also result in neural foraminal stenosis.
