Central canal stenosis is a spinal disorder the consists of the narrowing of the spinal canal of the vertebral column. This disorder takes place because of the degeneration of intervertebral discs and joints of the vertebral column. In this disorder, osteophytes or bone spurs grow in the central vertebral canal.
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.
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).
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.
Congenital cervical stenosis (CCS) occurs when the bony anatomy of the cervical canal is smaller than expected in the general population. Stenosis at the cervical level is related to a wide array of clinical symptoms ranging from asymptomatic or mild neck pain to severe cervical myelopathy causing paralysis.

Lumbar spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal, compressing the nerves traveling through the lower back into the legs. While it may affect younger patients, due to developmental causes, it is more often a degenerative condition that affects people who are typically age 60 and older.
Foraminal Stenosis is the narrowing of the cervical disc space caused by enlargement of a joint (the uncinate process) in the spinal canal. The majority of symptoms with this type of cervical spinal stenosis are usually caused by one nerve root on one side. Save.
Neural foraminal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the small openings between each vertebra in the spine, called foramen, which nerve roots pass through. A type of spinal stenosis, neural foraminal stenosis, does not always cause symptoms. But if a nerve gets compressed in the gap, this will be painful.
Lateral recess stenosis is defined as the narrowing of the sides of the bony tubular passageway, the lateral recess. This narrowing causes a loss of space which may result in pressure on the exiting nerve, causing a range of different symptoms.
Congenital spinal stenosis is present from birth. It is usually the result of having a small spinal canal. Acquired spinal stenosis develops either as a result of age-related changes to the spine or as a symptom of another medical condition.
Spinal canal – A bony channel located in the vertebral column that protects the spinal cord and nerve roots. Spinal cord – The longitudinal cord of nerve tissue enclosed in the spinal canal.
Medical Definition of stenosis : a narrowing or constriction of the diameter of a bodily passage or orifice esophageal stenosis — see aortic stenosis, mitral stenosis, pulmonary stenosis, spinal stenosis, subaortic stenosis.
The ICD code M480 is used to code Lumbar spinal stenosis. Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a medical condition in which the spinal canal narrows and compresses the spinal cord and nerves at the level of the lumbar vertebra.
It can also sometimes be caused by spinal disc herniation, osteoporosis or a tumor. In the cervical (neck) and lumbar (low back) region it can be a congenital condition to varying degrees. Lumbar vertebra showing central stenosis and lateral recess stenosis.
