A New MRI Grading System for Cervical Foraminal Stenosis Based on Axial T2-Weighted Images
OBJECTIVE 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 fora...
متن کاملA practical MRI grading system for lumbar foraminal stenosis.
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the reproducibility of a new grading system for lumbar foraminal stenosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four grades were developed for lumbar foraminal stenosis on the basis of sagittal MRI. Grade 0 refers to the absence of foraminal stenosis; grade 1 refers to mild foraminal stenosis showing perineural fat obliteration in the two opposing directions, vertical ...
متن کاملCorrelation between MRI Grading System and Surgical Findings for Lumbar Foraminal Stenosis
OBJECTIVE Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) grading systems using sagittal images are useful for evaluation of lumbar foraminal stenosis. We evaluated whether such a grading system is useful as a diagnostic tool for surgery. METHODS Between July 2014 and June 2015, 99 consecutive patients underwent unilateral lumbar foraminotomy for lumbar foraminal stenosis. Surgically confirmed foraminal ste...
متن کاملAssessing Foraminal Stenosis in the Cervical Spine: A Comparison of Three-Dimensional Computed Tomographic Surface Reconstruction to Two-Dimensional Modalities
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective radiographic study. OBJECTIVE The optimal radiographic modality for assessing cervical foraminal stenosis is unclear. Determination on conventional axial cuts is made difficult due in part to the complex, oblique orientation of the cervical neuroforamen. The utility of 3-dimensonal (3D) computed tomography (CT) reconstruction in improving neuroforaminal assessment i...
متن کاملHerpes radiculitis following surgery for symptomatic cervical foraminal stenosis.
complaints of slowly progressive dysesthetic pain in the distribution of the right C-8 nerve root. Symptomatology started approximately eight weeks prior to admission after a two week stay in Africa. Examination on admission revealed motor weakness of the hand intrinsics and abductor pollicis brevis muscle on the right side. Froment’s sign was positive and hypesthesia of the fingers 4 and 5 of ...
