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. |
