FAQ
It seems to be common, especially in people over age 55, and more likely to happen as people age. Some studies indicate up to 40% of people have at least moderate foraminal stenosis in their lumbar spine by age 60. That increases to about 75% in people aged 80 and older.
The foramina of the skull are narrow openings in the base of the adult skull that allow the passage of major nerves and blood vessels. These structures can be damaged if pressure, traction, or masses are present in these small spaces.
Definition. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole between the left and right atria (upper chambers) of the heart. This hole exists in everyone before birth, but most often closes shortly after being born. PFO is what the hole is called when it fails to close naturally after a baby is born.
Definition. Percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat atrial septal defects (ASD), which are openings in the wall (septum) between the upper chambers of the heart (atria).
The risk of foraminal narrowing increases with age, so most patients who are diagnosed with foraminal stenosis are over the age of 50. Car accidents or injuries at younger ages expedite the progression.
The skull bones that contain foramina include the frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, maxilla, palatine, temporal, and occipital. There are 21 foramina in the human skull.
All bones possess larger or smaller foramina (openings) for the entrance of blood-vessels; these are known as the nutrient foramina, and are particularly large in the shafts of the larger long bones, where they lead into a nutrient canal, which extends into the medullary cavity.
A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole in the heart that didn't close the way it should after birth. The hole is a small flaplike opening between the upper heart chambers. The upper chambers of the heart are called the atria.
Patent foramen ovale occurs in about 1 in 4 people. Most people with the condition never know they have it. A patent foramen ovale is often discovered during tests for other health problems.
Anatomical terminology. In some individuals, the foramen fails to close, leading to an interventricular septal defect known as a patent interventricular foramen.
