Abstract
A taxonomy of stenosis is presented. The classifications of clinical symptoms and signs may help the clinician to understand the clinical problem and assist him in the decision-making process, particularly as related to the choice of diagnostic procedures. The classifications of radiological and pathoanatomical data may guide the surgeon in selecting the surgical approach and in deciding what amount of which tissue has to be removed at operation.
