The Neural Formaina are holes that are formed between each joint of the spinal column through which the spinal nerves that branch off the spinal cord pass. These nerves go to your arms, legs, torso and various organs, carrying messages to and from the brain and body. Capacious means open and spacious, indicating that the nerves are not compromised by the degeneration of the spinal joints that can narrow the Neural Formamina.
Narrowing of the neural foramina is the constriction of the nerve passageways, or foramina, in the spine. This results in compression of the nerve.
I believe you actually mean "neural foramina". That is two words. It is also known as intervertebral foramina.
Foramina are openings. Neural foramina patent bilaterally just means that the openings in the spine are open, and allow the nerves to pass through normally...

"Foramina" is the plural form of "foramen", and a foramen is just a hole. The brain normally has several of these holes, or foramina in it, including the foramen of Magendie, foramina of Luschka, and foramina of Monroe. Which one are you talking about?
Wat.
The holes on the left and right side of the spinal cord that the nerves are protected in from top of spine to lower spine.
What are the symptoms and treatments for degenerative changes lumbar spine with multilevel foramina encroachment
When neural foramina appear patent, it means that they are open and not blocked or narrowed. This allows for proper passage of nerves and blood vessels through the spaces in the spine, preventing compression and preserving function. It is important for maintaining nerve health and preventing symptoms such as pain and weakness.
This means that the openings in the canal and foramina are normal in size, thus there is no restrictions that would cause any nerve problems.
Osteophytic encroachment of the neural central joints at C5-6 is when degeneration of a disc causes obstruction. This obstruction occurs at the foramina at C4-5.
If you have a capacious lumbar spinal canal, it means that it is a wide one. Some people have wider ones than others.
