A member asked:
If cervical spinal cord diameter measures 12.5mm in parts, 12mm in others, (so less than the appropriate 13mm) but larger than the 10mm 'stenosis' - is this classed as stenosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Borderline: The description is of mild narrowing. The key component is whether intraspinal vertebral portions, discs, or ligaments are pressing upon or compressing the spinal cord.
