Foraminated
Definition:
(a.) Having small opening, or foramina.

(12) Foraminal size varied from 40 to 160 mm2 but showed great variation even at individual levels; these were not accurately reflected by simple radiologic measurements.
(13) In 60% of patients, metrizamide CT myelography provided significant additional information including better characterization of the abnormality, lateralization if the conventional myelogram was indeterminate, more definitive demonstration of cord atrophy, foraminal narrowing not appreciated on myelography, and demonstration of abnormalities distal to a myelographic block.
(14) Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a uniform pattern of diffuse brain swelling and tentorial and foraminal herniation.
(15) The clival plane was more parallel to the foraminal plane in the low arch groups and the gonial angle was more obtuse.
(16) Compared with CT, MR consistently underestimated the diameters of the neural foramina, leading to overestimation of neural foraminal stenosis.
(17) Understanding of the effects of cervical position on foraminal size is important in the assessment of pathology and injury, for selection of a provocative maneuver to elicit symptoms and in selecting a position of immobilization for the management of nerve root impingement syndrome.
(18) In the patients without fusion, 3D images provided improved appraisal of surgical results in 31%; it showed additional fracture(s) in 9%, better displayed lateral neural foraminal narrowing in 42%, and showed additional posterior element fractures in 11% as compared to axial and 2D multiplanar reconstructed (MPR) scans.
(19) Of the subjects who were less than forty, 10 per cent had a herniated nucleus pulposus and 4 per cent had foraminal stenosis.
(20) Fixation of these fractures with sacroiliac screws and transiliac rods caused overcompression and the resulting foraminal encroachment may be a factor in the lack of neurologic recovery.
