====== Lateral recess ======

This is the area below the [[disc]] where the [[nerve]] runs more laterally towards the [[intervertebral foramen]].
Narrowing of the lateral recess is caused by [[facet]] [[arthrosis]], usually in combination with [[hypertrophy]] of the [[ligamentum flavum]] and bulging of the disc.
