NCC/ is foraminal narrowing.....stenosis???

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Can someone please tell me if " left side foraminal narrowing at

C7-T1level " means stenosis??? I have severe scoliosis at the C5, C6, C7,

T1, T2 area.....that area is an " S' shape with congenital fusions and half

grown vertabrae and when you look at my MRI you cannot follow the spinal

cord at this level., you can see the spinal cord to C4 and then it

dissapears behind the messed up vertabrae and then at T2 you can see the

spinal cord continue on. This particular MRI image is a straight on back

veiw of the spinal cord.

Also, at the risk of sounding stupid.........is there supposed to

be a C-8 vertabrae??? I have seen a few documents that mention a C-8

vertabrae in some case studies I have looked at online.........but I don't

have a C-8.............just curious!!!

((((hugs)))) Sam

Hi,

There are only 7 Cervial Vertabraes(SP). That is sure strange that you have

heard about an 8th one.

Take Care,

Brande
