The intervertebral interspinous foramen (or also called vertebral interspinous, and usually abbreviated IV foramus), is an opening between two vertebrae in the spinal column. Its function is to provide a passage for blood to flow between the two spinal vertebra. This opening is called the interventricular septum, because it separates the two hemispheres of the brain.
The opening consists of two separate discs – intervertebral discs and interventricular discs – and when these two discs are infected, the infection invades the spinal cord and enters the spinal canal. This causes stenosis and, as a result, obstruction of the outflow of cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid then accumulates in the interventricular disc, which can ultimately lead to the formation of a tumor or nerve root.
The main symptom of spinal stenosis is a lack of tenderness in the lower body, which can spread to the arms and legs. In severe cases, these symptoms can be so severe that even the slightest touch can cause pain.
Sometimes it can even lead to paralysis
What causes spinal stenosis? This condition can be caused by several factors. One of these factors is spinal cord injury. Spinal cord injury is usually caused by external forces, such as trauma to the body, which is usually caused by an accident or attack, or muscle spasms in the neck, back, or head.
Other causes of stenosis include aging or degeneration of the spine over time, accumulation of scar tissue in the spinal cord, scar tissue in the spinal cord, or a herniated disc. Sometimes the disease is caused by tumors such as glomus.
Another reason that can lead to the development of a herniated disc is a spinal cord injury caused by a fracture or herniated disc. Other reasons that can cause this are the inability to completely heal the intervertebral discs and / or the formation of scar tissue in the spinal cord.
How does the interventricular foramen get formed? It is not uncommon for interventricular foramen to become filled with fluid, which can cause the opening to close off.
