Hi Kerry:

Neuroforaminal is not listed in Stedman's Neuro/Psych, nor it is listed in

Stedman's Concise medical dictionary. However, neural foramen is indeed

listed in Stedman's Neuro/Psych, so I take that to mean neuroforaminal is not

a " legal " combining form. Hope this helps

I type this all the time in my MRIs and I reference it as neural foraminal

narrowing in my Stedman's radiology book but I could not reference

neuroforaminal in my rad book. My doc's like it two words. So I don't know

what to tell you as far as what the difference is. Maybe someone else can

help you with that fact.

Hope this helps.

After checking in many resources, I did find in Medical Phrase Index was

neuroforamina and neural

foramina. It is really strange, I looked in Stedman's (27th Edition) newest one

and Dorlands and

they have neither, in fact, The Medical Phrase Index is the only book that has

it. Oh, I did find

neural foramen in the Stedman Neurology book. I don't know if I am of any help

or not.
