No canal stenosis

What does "No canal stenosis" mean in a report or doctor's letter? In our medical dictionary, you will find a patient-friendly explanation of the meaning of this medical term.

Explanation

"No canal stenosis" refers to the absence of any narrowing in the spinal canal. The spinal canal is a small tunnel that runs down the middle of the spine and houses the spinal cord. If this canal becomes narrow, it can put pressure on the nerves, which can cause pain or other symptoms. However, when a report says "no canal stenosis", it means that the canal is of normal width and there is no such pressure on the nerves.
