"The nerve roots of the two adjacent segments lie alongside each other within an asymmetrically enlarged common sleeve in the subarticular recess, which itself may be enlarged due to bone remodelling. The proximal nerve root has a more horizontal course prior to exiting through its neural foramen, and this brings it into close contact with the posterior disc margin; distally, the inferior nerve root is displaced into the lateral subarticular recess where it is vulnerable to impingement by facet joint degeneration or ligamentum flavum hypertrophy."
