C5/C7 expressing bilateral and non-superficial arthrosis with obstruction (foraminal encroachment) Explanation: Foraminal Encroachment - Laser Spine Institute https://www.laserspineinstitute.com › Spine Conditions Foraminal encroachment means that degeneration in the spinal column has caused an obstruction of the foramina, which are the open spaces on either side of the vertebrae through which spinal nerves pass on their way to other parts of the body. As these neural passageways become blocked, it can force pressure on the nerves, which causes pain at the site of the impinged nerve as well as symptoms that travel to the extremities. This condition of foraminal encroachment, which goes by other names such as foraminal stenosis and spinal foraminal stenosis, can occur in any of the spinal regions: cervical (upper neck and back), thoracic (middle back) or lumbar (lower back). Generally, foraminal stenosis symptoms are unilateral, meaning they only occur on one side of the body. However, bilateral foraminal stenosis can also occur, in which foramina on both sides of the vertebrae are narrowed. Foraminal stenosis causes may include any of the following: Herniated disc – an intervertebral disc ruptures and the inner jelly-like disc material (nucleus pulposus) extrudes into the spinal canal in the area of one or more foramina. Bulging disc – an intervertebral disc shifts and impinges on the foramen, contributing to foraminal encroachment. Degenerative disc disease – a condition due to aging during which intervertebral discs become thinner, drier and more brittle, making them extremely prone to damage. Degenerative disc disease can often be a cause of herniated discs and bulging discs, both of which contribute to foraminal encroachment. Bone spurs: often referred to as osteophytes, these are extra growths of bone that your body produces as a way to reinforce the spine when it senses the spine has begun to degenerate. However, these bone spurs can cause foraminal encroachment. Bone spurs are often brought on by arthritis of the spine. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4644751/ The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) grading system for cervical neural foraminal stenosis (NFS). Materials and Methods Cervical NFS at bilateral C4/5, C5/6, and C6/7 was classified into the following three grades based on the T2-weighted axial images: Grade 0 = absence of NFS, with the narrowest width of the neural foramen greater than the width of the extraforaminal nerve root (EFNR); Grade 1 = the narrowest width of the neural foramen the same or less than (but more than 50% of) the width of the EFNR; Grade 2 = the width of the neural foramen the same or less than 50% of the width of the EFNR. The MRIs of 96 patients who were over 60 years old (M:F = 50:46; mean age 68.4 years; range 61-86 years) were independently analyzed by seven radiologists. Interobserver and intraobserver agreements were analyzed using the percentage agreement, kappa statistics, and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2017-10-29 17:53:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- NFS=neural foraminal stenosis see the image https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3635796/figure/... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2017-10-29 18:01:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- išauga => something increased, grown (growth?), morphologic change I think these "growths" are bone spurs, osteophytes, the "extra growths of bone", see the end of the text under my frst link. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2017-10-29 18:04:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- (based on my personal experience, this is a typical fate (karma) of the translator, as this occurs often in our profession, because this kind of degeneration caused by long hours of sitting :((( |
