Cervical Central Canal and Neural Foraminal Stenosis Grading



Cervical Central Canal Stenosis Grading

 - Normal - No CSF effacement 

 - Mild - Partial CSF effacement (ventral, dorsal, or both) 

 - Moderate - Complete CSF effacement +/- slight cord indentation 

 - Severe - Complete CSF effacement & frank cord compression 

Cervical Neural Foraminal Stenosis Grading 

 - Normal - No foraminal effacement 

 - Mild - <50% foraminal effacement at the nerve level* * 

 - Moderate - >50% foraminal effacement at the nerve level* * 

 - Severe - Complete foraminal effacement
