Neuroforaminal is not a word - neural foraminal is correct

Neuroforaminal is not a word. You will not find it in any dictionaries. It is a made up word that has become popular, but it it still incorrect. Use the proper form.

I've read through the posts and have spent a good deal of time perusing various online resources on this fascinating question.
