Table 4. Grading Criteria for Cervical Neural Foraminal Stenosis.

Grade Severity Description
Grade 0 Normal The narrowest width of the neural foramen is greater than the width of the extraforaminal nerve root at the level of the anterior margin of the superior articular process.
Grade 1 Non-severe The narrowest width of the neural foramen is 51%–100% of the width of the extraforaminal nerve root at the level of the anterior margin of the superior articular process.
Grade 2 Severe The width of the neural foramen is the same as or less than 50% of the width of the extraforaminal nerve roots.
