The major nerve roots exit the spinal cord through areas between the bony projections of the vertebrae in the bony spine. These exits involve an archlike bone formation like the area under the letter n. The wording implies a hook-like overgrowth of bone narrows the area allowing the nerve exit between C3-4. What this means in a given case is best explained by the doc who knows the case

The findings are indicative of some focal arthritic change over the left side of the neck vertebrae, and if you suffer no neck symptoms at this point, there is no reason for concern.
