A member asked:
My cervical mri report listed: mild left hemicord flattening & foraminal stenosis at c5/c6. spinal canal is 7.5mm. impression: (etc.) moderate left spinal canal stenosis. in severe pain, numbness. q: what mm should the spinal canal be at this level?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
13 mm or above is usually considered adequate diameter of the cervical canal. Your canal is significantly narrowed, and appears spinal cord is being compressed. Contact a neurosurgeon and consider decompressive procedure. Suspect the cervical stenosis is long standing as likely congenital variant.
