I don't know how accurate that is, but I've been told this by several radiologists - some nice and some not so nice!

neural foramina
Subject: neural foramina
It's neural foramina. And "pleural" is only spelled this way if it means the thorax or chest cavity. That was probably just a typo in your original message and you meant to type "plural," meaning more than one. I've been a Texas state-certified court reporter and national-certified court reporter for 25 years. The proper terms are "neural foramina," (that is the plural form) and "neural foramen" (that is the singular form) although you will see them misspelled as neuroforamina all the time.

Neuroforamina vs neural foramina
Subject: Neuroforamina vs neural foramina
I understand that one is singular and the other is pleural. The MTs in the hospital where I now work are telling me that it's okay to type "neuroforamina" and I was told that is incorrect -- that it should be "neural foramina." I suppose it should be the same as for the singular form, but we just need some confirmation or judgment as to which is now the preferred way to type this. I know that 30+ years ago, I was told that neuroforamen *and* neuroforamina were okay. I don't believe tha anymore and do believe that neural foramina is the correct way to type it. Anyone with a definite on this? Thanks -- Karen

neuroforaminal vs neural foraminal
Subject: neuroforaminal vs neural foraminal
I know I am responding to a very old post, but those of you who use "neural foraminal" as opposed to "neuroforaminal" in your transcriptions are correct. I am a Certified Court Reporter in the state of Texas and a Registered Professional Court Reporter at the national level. I've been so-licensed for 25 years, and I always see the two-word error. And it's AMAZING how often the radiologists are incorrect and ESPECIALLY their staff. Though using the medical combining forms is often the most common, in this case, it is incorrect. But, like some of the others said in their posts, who's going to argue with the doc?
Congrats on standing up for yourself!

Wow! The site really messed up my posted message. Anyone know why it jammed all the words together and took some words out? The original message that I typed and can still view is correct. This is my first post, so am I just doing something wrong? Thanks for your help, if you can.
Proper is neural foraminal stenosis.

Neuroforaminal stenosis is acceptable if okay with your account specifics. It is considered a neologism.
