ICD-10 code: M48. 02 Spinal stenosis Cervical region.
What is cervical stenosis of spinal canal?
Definition. Cervical stenosis is a condition in which the spinal canal is too small for the spinal cord and nerve roots. This can cause damage to the spinal cord, a condition called myelopathy, or pinch nerves as they exit the spinal canal (radiculopathy).
Is cervical stenosis and spinal stenosis the same?
Cervical spinal stenosis is the name for spinal stenosis in the neck. It can be far more dangerous by compressing the spinal cord. The condition may lead to serious symptoms, which can include major body weakness or paralysis.
Is central canal stenosis the same as spinal stenosis?
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of one or more bony openings (foramina) in the vertebrae of the spine. When spinal stenosis occurs in the spinal canal, it is called central canal stenosis and may cause compression of the spinal cord.
What is the difference between canal stenosis and foraminal stenosis?
The two general types of spinal stenosis are foraminal stenosis, also called lateral stenosis, which involves compression or inflammation of a spinal nerve; and central canal stenosis, which involves compression or inflammation of the spinal cord.
What are the different types of spinal stenosis?
The two main types of spinal stenosis are:
- Cervical stenosis. In this condition, the narrowing occurs in the part of the spine in your neck.
- Lumbar stenosis. In this condition, the narrowing occurs in the part of the spine in your lower back. It's the most common form of spinal stenosis.

Where is the central canal located?
The central canal is located in the anterior third of the spinal cord in the cervical and thoracic regions. In the lumbar spine it enlarges and is located more centrally.
What is central canal or foraminal stenosis?
Central canal stenosis occurs when one or more bony openings narrows and compresses the passage of the spinal cord through the spinal canal. Spinal cord compression causes pain, inflammation, weakness, dysfunction and debilitation anywhere below the level of compression.
Is neural foraminal stenosis the same as spinal stenosis?
Neural foraminal stenosis, or neural foraminal narrowing, is a type of spinal stenosis. It occurs when the small openings between the bones in your spine, called the neural foramina, narrow or tighten.
What is the difference between lateral recess stenosis and foraminal stenosis?
Stenosis may occur in the central spinal canal (central stenosis) where the spinal cord or cauda equina are located, in the tract where the nerve root exits the central canal (lateral recess stenosis) or in the lateral foramen (foraminal stenosis) where the individual nerve roots exit out to the body.
